I listen to this song a lot... My 3 week old son passed away and I keep thinking about how many things I'll never get to do with him. I wish I could take more pictures of his sweet little face... But I can't. I'm just left here without him. Life is so unbelievably cruel at times. I wish I could have made those moments with him last forever. I'll see you again one day, my beautiful boy.

As a father who works day and night to provide for my wife and 3 daughters, this song really hits me deep. One moment my daughter is a baby, next thing I know, she's going to school. They keep on slipping through my fingers and I wish I can just stop the time and just sit with them. I guess this is part of being a father...

This might sound ridiculous... but this song is making me think about my dog. For context I had a shitty upbringing, both my parents never really cared unless i was costing them money.I got sent to live with every branch of family that would take me in, grandparents, uncles, aunts....Nobody ever was "permanent" for me, I changed school so many times, my imediate family always changed after few months or so. So its like i never really cared for people (i tried) but idk, I don't have that fear of losing people, they always just came and left. I felt unable to care for anything... Until i got my dog. he had an equally shitty life, people were so rude to him for no damn reasons. I took him in, and it honestly changed my life, I absolutely adore this dog and would fight anything and anyone for him. But he is turning 13 this year, his health is declining... Its become so clear now our time is limited.... I know for most its just a dog, probably cringe to read. But its still world breaking for me and i feel this song does a good job capturing the kind of desperation I feel at capturing everything from every moment I can share with my absolute angel of a dog/best friend/family... even tho the lyrics of the song are clearly meant for something else... thats how i relate to it. sorry if its depressing. even more if its cringe.

My dad and I danced to this song at my wedding. He always pushed me to go to college and now I'm in grad school because of him. This song reminds me of all of our weekend adventures we would go on when I was a little girl and how he always told me the most powerful thing you can have is an education, because once you have it, no matter what happens, no one can ever take it away from you. There was a day I was talking with my dad about some class content we'd been learning, and dad drew me into a hug, got teary, and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about, but I am so proud of you. You're educated now." I didn't realize that somewhere along the way I had both surpassed my father and honored his most cherished wish for me. This song reminds me of all our time together and all of the lessons he's taught me. Thanks for everything, I love you dad. (I still visit him every week at home.)

Lyrics: Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go? (Slipping through my fingers all the time) Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why? I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers Slipping through my fingers all the time Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

This song means so sooooo much to me for very different reasons than what the original was about. At the end of 2018 I lost my dad. Weirdly i had never heard this song until one Sunday, after I knew he was terminal that i was driving to my parents house and this song came on radio 2. It just stabbed me. There is aline “I try to capture every minute, the feeling in it”…..that resonated with everything I was going through. This song has meant the world to me since. This cover is delicate, beautiful and heartfelt. Absolutely love it

Since we're all venting here, I watched the movie when I was 9 years old, and watched it every day for a month or so (I was waiting to start school). This part always got me emotional because I imagined myself leaving my mother one day and watching my mother be left behind as I begin my life. It always hit me that she's growing older as I was growing up and now, 15 years later, it still hits the same. Knowing that our time together is limited but trying to make the most of the time we do have. "What happened to those wonderful adventures?", thinking of how my mother has so many dreams of traveling the world and I pray and hope she gets to do it someday soon. I always think I would gladly sacrifice years of my life if it meant that she could live longer.

Knowing I could never truly appreciate it then and just wondering if she ever felt sad knowing that it would end at some point.

I don’t even have any kids yet and I can already imagine my kids will slip through my fingers while I work hard to provide them everything they need and want. 😢

I have to say sorry but I really can’t come to your wedding. I will cry my eyes out and all the makeup I added to my face for an hour will just run away. Yup. I don’t even know you and you won’t even invite me to the wedding but I just want to tell you this. Just in case put some redo-makeup stuff at the women’s toilet please 😂❤ Have a wonderful wedding and a wonderful father daughter dance 🥹❤️🔥

For me(about to start college) I listen to this song and I reminiscent all those moments in my life that I didn't pay enough attention to or took forgranted. It's hard to accept my childhood is gone and it's probably just as hard for my mom to accept it too.

As a parent, I can say it’s MUCH harder for your mom. Give her grace when you feel that she’s being overprotective or hovering. We’re all haunted by fear for our children! Capture ever minute

When Mamma Mia first came out, my mom, nana, and I went to watch it together. I was in the 8th grade. When this song came on in the movie, it felt like such a gut punch of realization that the moment I was in, was fleeting. My nana has been gone for 2 years now, and hearing this version just brought me back to 8th grade Morgan having the best time with them 💗 I might be ugly crying right now, but I'm so grateful for your version of this song. Thanks for the reminder of beautiful memories.

I miss my Jessie cat so much… This is a love letter to him 😢❤️ he was 2 weeks old when I adopted her in 2020, but last September… We spent so many beautiful days together. We spent the whole Covid era together. I remember the carantina days and all we did was playing games, he was just a little baby during those days. Also he never let anybody to pet him for more than 5 seconds hahaha. He was a little spicy but so lovely. I was always singing and playing guitar for him and he was sleeping. Goodbye, my little friend. I remember everything. Rest In Peace, my love. I will always love you 💔
