[Verse 1] I catch you lookin' right past my shoulder The room gets quiet, the air gets colder You hide your phone when you walk on by And you won't even look me in the eye We used to talk till the morning light Now every little thing turns into a fight [Pre-Chorus] It's been months since we touched, yeah, since we held each other tight I'm tryin' to play it cool, but I'm dyin' inside [Chorus] Oh, girl, I can tell you're slippin' away I can see it in the things that you don't say We had a love that was strong, we had a love that was grand Now the sand is slippin' right through our hands Yeah, you're slippin' away from me [Verse 2] You sneak away when that telephone rings You're keepin' secrets and changin' things I see the signs, baby, I ain't blind I'm losin' my baby one day at a time [Pre-Chorus] Remember the fire? Remember the spark? Now we're just two strangers bumpin' in the dark [Chorus] Oh, girl, I can tell you're slippin' away I can see it in the things that you don't say We had a love that was strong, we had a love that was grand Now the sand is slippin' right through our hands Yeah, you're slippin' away from me [Bridge] [Instrumental Break] [Saxophone Solo] [Vocal Scatting] Ba-da-ba-da, do-wop, scattin' in the midnight hour... Oh baby, don't let go! [Guitar Solo] [Jazz Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Oh, girl, I can tell you're slippin' away I can see it in the things that you don't say We had a love that was strong, we had a love that was grand Now the sand is slippin' right through our hands [Outro] Don't slip away... Come back to me, baby... I can see you slippin' away... [Fade Out]
