到了「Mamma Mia!」電影的這個樂段裡，來到了小小蘇菲的婚禮前之準備時刻，她母親 Donna 在幫她梳妝整理之時，有感而發地回想起了過去至今的種種酸甜苦辣，一起看著當年的舊照片回憶著，站在這位亭亭玉立準備出嫁的女兒面前，她當年第一天上學校時的那情景，背著書包稚氣地回首微笑道別，以及這幾年來陪著女兒成長的種種回憶，就如同阿巴經典名歌 Slipping through my fingers 裡所述一般，猶如幻燈片一般在腦海中一幕幕地閃過，那影像似乎是像手指可以直接觸碰般的真實，但卻又是那麼虛幻地從指間溜過而消逝無蹤。輕輕地揮一揮手道別，五味雜陳的滋味卻縈繞充塞在心頭，這或許就是每一個為人父母者最真實的寫照。底下就跟各位分享這段經典的片段：

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
