Slipping Away - Lyrics by Mariah Carey


Lyrics
[
Chorus:]

So far so far you're slipping away away

Slipping away from the life and the love we made

Baby I'm so afraid

So far so far you're slipping away away

Slipping right out of my grasp and you're fading fast it seems

You know you're slipping away from me

I keep on reaching and I
I keep on trying

But you never even hold me

And it seems like you don't know me baby

I keep on yearning and I
I guress I'm learning

That it's just a losing fight
'
Cause there's no passion in your eyes

[
Chorus]

I keep denying that our

Our love is dying

But it's all a big charade

And it's a fruitless game to play

I can't remember when you

You last were tender

And it's always touch and go

Your silence chills me to the bone

[
Chorus]


Away away away away away

Further further

You're so far


Time after time I reach for you
I try and I try but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be

Baby you're slipping away from me


So far so far slipping away away

Slipping away from what we had
I tell you I just don't understand

You're so far

So far so far slipping away away

You're slipping right out of my grasp and you're fading so fast

It seems you know you're slipping away from me


Time after time I reach for you
I try and I try but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be

Baby you're slipping away from me
