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 - Hudba

Thank you♥️🥺
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...
Good on you brotha❤️🙏🏼
As a son who works day and night to provide for my disabled father and struggling mother, I can't help but also feel this song. I always remember when he took care of me when I was young and I planned to take him abroad to travel but now can't because he's bedridden.
Well...i am a mother of 4, a stay home mom and blv me that i feel this song untill the heart...cs they do slipp through our fingers nomatter how and wt we do...now my biggest is 19 and i see her very little...so yes-i do wish that i could freez time 😔...beautiful song...and very real feeling...
You are absolutely right, I also work hard to provide for my family. My daughter is getting married next year, and I wonder where the time has gone! What is really important in this life? 🤔😢
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.)
Wow, that's really deep. You got one hell of a chad as a dad.
W.
😭 onions... I miss my Dad
thanks so much for sharing this, it made my day!
Today is my 21st bday and I have decided to surrender my life Jesus Christ our Savior. This is my best birthday ever!!
As the youngest child in the family, I've always been scared to be an adult. It's not the real-world challenges or such things, but the reality hits when I know that I'm getting near to losing my parents. Ibu ayah, thank you for being my everything. Having both of you as my parents is a huge blessing for me.
As a big ABBA fan,it is very rare to find a great cover version....this is fantastic...well done.
I love this !
Agree 🤗
Beautiful but painfully sad song...
listen to Declan McKenna covering this song.
Cover with singing style in the Smartphone era
My mom, the greatest Abba fan, always sings this songs to me and I never appreciated it. Now shes dying and this hits me harder than ever. Thank you for a beautiful version of this precious song ❤
Listening to this song … can’t help but cry 😢…. I lost my dear sister 18mths ago to cancer. Forever in our hearts 💕
😭😭😭
❤
I have nothing going through but this song makes me shed tears.
Used this to dance with my daughter at her wedding. Blew people away. Just beautiful!
Wow what a perfect song. I only have boys but one day maybe a daughter to give away to this song. So touching
Hope one day to dance this song with my daughter, may be at her wedding... For the moment, better enjoy the moment...
good idea

Thankyou so much
This is one of my very favourite Abba songs. I'd never thought of this as anything other than a song for a woman to sing but Ethan keeps the meaning and emotion in the song while expressing them perfectly from a father's point of view. It's incredible!

I've searched many covers for this song but i think this one is the most suitable and beautiful
Only a REAL MOM and DAD can really have the grasp of this song. It is bitter sweet. And I hate some who take being mom/dad for granted. Love you child as much, because that' s what they will treasure when it's their time to be mom/dad
untuk anakku kelak, ketahuilah nak jika ibumu sudah memikirkan masa depanmu sebelum ibu memilikimu.
cukup ibumu saja yg merasa sulitnya bekerja keras dari kecil, dan ibu berjanji agar kamu tidak akan pernah merasakan hal yg sama. tumbuh dan berkembanglah dgn layak seperti temanmu yg lain. akan ibu pastikan kamu akan selalu dihujani kasih sayang😊
I've been repeatedly listening to this song and I can't hold my tears every time I'm listening and singing to this song. It reminds me of a beautiful memory with my father. He was a fan of ABBA and this was one of his favorite songs. I remember he played this song on his piano and I was sitting next to him, we sang this song together. I didn't know the meaning of the song until I got older now.. I miss him..
Thank you, Ethan.. for singing this song beautifully
So sorry 😞
My daughter died at 3 months old, all I have is broken memories and photos. This song is heartbreakingly beautiful.
😢💔💔😢
My daughter died almost a year ago and she loved this song 💔😔
@@marjaalexandre7247 😢💔
I am sorry, but I am at a loss words
@AliceAndTheQueen & @Marja my heartfelt sincere condolences to you both & family & loved ones 😢🙏🏻♥️
My daughter played this at her wedding recently for our daughter and mum dance. To say I was emotional is an understatement, I will forever hold this special moment in my heart. ❤
This reminds me of how my dad would play songs by ABBA and dance with my mum. RIP Dad. Thank you for the beautiful cover🙏
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.
Sara Bareilles + John Legend = Ethan Hodges.
Love your voice.
Love this rendition. 💙
YES Sara
My man Ethan, please keep on singing. Your voice is a blessing to our soul. 🧡
Thanks so much :))
❤
what a beautiful voice. Sing Ethan, sing
My man Ethan your singing is beautiful
Love this
Our ABBA.The phenomenal band that got such a humiliating abuse from critics back at the time of their active prime.Seems that recognition to their genius was a boomerang that got back from the public and especially from future Gens.Thank you man!.That was a fine cover.And that's from an older fan that had experienced Abba's glorious,exciting era real time.I'm honoured.
My precious baby girl is turning 1 month this week. This song really hits hard knowing how time flies.
Abba songs break generations. Truly timeless.
Omg! The best cover ever, hands down! Tears pooling in my eyes❤❤❤
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
This song makes me miss my dad so much 💔 Rest in peace dad, I'll love you forever 💔
From sarah always reminds me of my 2 daughters and now my granddaughter (miss twinkle toes ) that love ❤️ you have for youre children even when they are adults and then youre grandchild .you really feel it in youre heart ❤️ ❤❤
Wow!
Beautiful and truly touching. Great Job, Ethan.
I was listening to this song and it brought me to tears. My dad seemed to have lost his memory with his age at 83, he is slipping thru my fingers......
You have no idea how much I needed these words. My son died 3 months ago and I am broken hearted
@Melanie Harding my heartfelt sincere condolences to family & loved ones 😢🙏🏻♥️

I’ve been searching for a Father Daughter dance for my wedding.. this is it ❤
😍👌👌👌
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 🥹❤️🔥

Enak banget emang
I never thought that this song could hit me as hard as it did right now. I left home a few months back to go study on the other side of the country. While listening to this song I thought of my best friend, who has gone through way more than a person deserves and just remembering the times we spend together made tears fall down my eyes. Thank you so much for this
As ABBA´s fan, I was very happy to ear this beautiful version, so perfectly sang, so pure. This one has really got me deeply that it made me close my eyes enjoying the first 20 seconds just playing the piano and kept me attached to your voice until the last syllable that came out from your mouth. Thank you Ethan for this magical moment.
This man has gold in his voice!!
Your voice OMG !! It's like a gift from God .. Soo beautiful ...
I woke up this morning, open my youtube and hear this beautiful thing. It's totally blessed❤
when I'm angry with my wife, always play this again so that I always remember the beautiful courtship period and make me remember the reasons for liking and loving my wife 😇
This song makes me long for a daughter I never had.
Just heard this now! WOW!
This reminds me of my late dad who died almost a decade battling diabetes 20 yrs. Last saw him in 2008 before I left for the mainland. I see him in my dreams on occasion.
Blessings Ethan 🐾 ❤🙏
A very beautiful song and he has such a good voice.
I do not know why I am crying!
How lovely.
This song brings me to tears every time
I love Abba and this is one of my favourite songs. I really never thought that anyone could sing this with the same emotion and just as beautifully as Agnetha, but Ethan has managed it. It's just fabulous!
This song makes me cry and really I can't control my tears.😢
Beautiful cover of one of my favourite ABBA songs. Just gorgeous.
Being a mother is overwhelming. Being a father is lonely. This song encapsulates that loneliness a father feels.
So deep your words.
Such a lovely rendition of Benny and Bjorns song, they really are the masters of beautiful lilting melodies.❤️
I am crying now. Thinking of my daughter. From a father perpective, really want she is here, small and needs a well taken care of all the time.
I am from Vietnam. Thank you so much for such of lovely solo with purely piano...
This is the best Cover of this song❤❤
I am in the midst of losing my son (32) thru my selfish actions of the past. When I heard this song, it is an exact parallel of my life with/out my son. Every…single….line. We are in counselling trying to reconcile and recover from past hurts and damage as a last resort (his words - of him cutting me out of his life). I am desperately holding on for dear life to save our relationship. 😭 When my time comes on this earth, I don’t want him to have sad, hurtful😅 memories of his mother.
@Cheri Kelly hope you & your son can patch up your relationship
Sending love
It’s really nice to see the number of views go from hundreds to hundred of thousands now. Congrats Ethan!
I never get tired of this cover of Abba song. I love you Ethan.
For my daughters I will keep cherishing you forever ❤❤❤
One Talented young man. You have an amazing voice. Hope you go far. 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
this song made me understand the feeling of a mother letting her son fly! thanks Mom.
when I listened to it it really touched my heart. and reading the comments made me cry. I saw it from the perspective of a father who lost his daughter's growth. 🥺
Listening to this before sleeping ❤
You don't know how good you are. Totally transformed this song
Beautiful! Have been an ABBA fan for a long time, and this made me cry!
My daughter is 16 months and yet I’m planning this song as our dance song. Thank you.
And the shoot and the coloring of video also awesome YAY
He’s an angel 😮
This had tears running down my face. Such a beautiful cover
What a lovely voice brother
Starting from the sound of the piano, Ethan has hugged me so tightly that it often makes me have to take a deep breath..
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. 😢
This voice. Wow. It’s been a minute since I have felt a voice in my soul quite like I did with this one.
I’ve heard this song many times over the years. However, your rendition has allowed me to truly hear the words and feel the emotions for the very first time. Thank you for that
amazing
This made me cry and I don’t know why by just watching and listening to you singing this song! ❤️

Thank you for the past three months MA. It’s truly nice to know you
Absolute justice for this cover
I want to use this as my father/daughter dance with my brother. Such a sweet song and great rendition!
This is so sweeeeet
As a mother of three grown children making their own way in life now, this touches a very deep place in my heart. This beautiful song so aptly expresses what's in the hearts of empty nesters like me. Thank you Ethan, for this beautiful cover (incidentally, my grandson's name is also Ethan, and he loves to sing, just like me😊). ❤❤❤from Nigeria
This must be the most beautiful voice i‘ve ever heard!
You’ve done this song justice❤
The words hit deep
I just cried over your version and I couldn't be more grateful for that! Endearing.
This song hits deep lately.. my dad just had a stroke and is now in the hospital for a while. Hoping he’ll still be around to dance to this song when I get married some day 🥹
I just saw 4 people in the comment including me.Why people don't even see his such incredible talent.This should get hundred thousand viewer actually...
Every parents pride & heartbreak.....
Watching our kids grow up....
Very nice voice
surreal, your voice gives this song a whole new depth and meaning. cried
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.
Super performance Ethan, fabulous, such talent
Watching from Myanmar. Being a daughter to loving and caring parents, this really is heart touching song.
Been listening to this song nonstop. Such a beautiful cover! 🙏🏽💯
You killed that
