[Verse 1] Every time I think I’ve found the place, You turn your eyes, and fade without a trace. Like water through my open hands, You’re gone before I can understand. [Chorus] Love that keeps slippin’ away, Like dawn when the night wants to stay. I reach, but you drift with the tide, Love that keeps slippin’ away each time. [Verse 2] Your laughter lingers in the air, A ghost that whispers, “I still care.” But when I turn, there’s only gray, The echo fades — and you fade away. [Chorus] Love that keeps slippin’ away, Like a dream I can’t make stay. You’re close, then you’re miles down the line, Love that keeps slippin’ away each time. [Bridge] Maybe love’s a bird that don’t belong, It sings one night, then moves along. Leaves me hummin’ the tune all day, A melody that won’t quite stay. [Final Chorus] Love that keeps slippin’ away, I call your name but you won’t stay. The harder I hold, the faster you slide, Love that keeps slippin’ away each time. [Outro] Love that keeps slippin’ away…
