Watch Mamma Mia with my Mama

The first time i watched Mamma Mia was in Hong Kong, the movie was very nice and i was thinking my mum might love it too because she used to be an ABBA fan. Thus after i come back, i asked my whole family to watch it in cinema. It is a very good movie so i thought we should support it and don't get the pirated copy. Unfortunately my parents were kinda busy so the family movie plan had to call off. So i have no choice but to download from the net (good quality though...hehe)

The movie is about a young girl getting married and looking for father. Same thing happen in my family except the father-searching part. Yeah, my sister is getting married. But the sad thing is i can't attend her wedding because i will in New Zealand that time, sob sob.... Anyway, me and my mother have been discussing her party recently. There is one scene in Mamma Mia (Slipping Through My Fingers) shows the mother feeling nostalgic when she was dressing her daughter that will be marrying and leaving her soon. So touching.... (i wonder if my mum has that feeling when my sis marries, hehe!)


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 Im losing her forever
And without really entering her world
Im 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 whats in her mind
Each time I think Im 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 shes gone theres that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I cant 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 didnt
And why I just dont 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 whats in her mind
Each time I think Im 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
