Slippin' Away lyrics

And now you seem so far away

When only yesterday

I thought that we were gettin' closer

It's like I'm hangin' on a line

Hopin' you'll take time enough to notice

That we both could understand

Do you wanna live alone?

Lookin' past the places where

A seed of love could grow and

The future could be lastin' love

But you just keep slippin' away

Why you wanna

Keep on slippin' away?

Somewhere in your heart I know

You will see that I am on your side

I am on your side

I can't believe it takes so long

‘Cause something that's so strong 

Can surely take away the weakness

Maybe I haven't made it clear

But day after day and year by year

I'll keep sayin'

When my imagination's gone

There's a warm reality

That helps me make the space

Between us so much closer

And you won't keep slippin' away

You ain't gonna keep on slippin' away

Somehow in your mind, I know

You will see that I am on your side

I am on your side

Don't keep slippin' away

Don't keep slippin' away, away

When my imagination's gone

There's a warm reality

That helps me make the space

Between us so much closer

And you won't keep slippin' away

I won't let you keep on slippin' away

Somehow in your mind, I know

You will see that I am on your side

And I'm never gonna let you slip away

I won't let you keep on slippin' away

Somehow in your mind, I know

You will see that I am on your side

And you won't keep on slippin' away

I won't let you 

I won't let you

I won't let you

Turn around and go

I won't let you slip away
