"Slippin' Away" lyrics

And she said
I've been searching for you
Since the dawn of time

And she said
I'll be waiting for you
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time

And I closed my eyes
And then she sighed
For she was

Slippin' away
Slippin' away

And she said
I've been yearning for you (For you)
Since the dawn of time
And she said
I'll be burning for you (For you)
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time

And I touched her hair
But she wasn't there
For she was

Slippin' away
Slippin' away

Then she rocked me (Lord, how high)
She rolled me
Until it
Touched the sky

She told me (The reason why)
The reason why
She was slippin' away

The reason why she was
Slippin' away

(Hmm)

She needed love
Love
Love, c'mon, love
She needed love, child
She was slippin' away

She needed love
Love
Love, c'mon, love
She needed love, child
She was slippin' away

She needed love
Love
Love, c'mon, love
She needed love, child
She was slippin' away

She needed love
Love (On the streets, she took her love)
Love, c'mon, love (She needed love, child)
She needed love, child (Lord)
She was slippin' away

So I said
I've been searching for you (For you)
Since the dawn of time

And I said
I'll be waiting for you (For you, yes, you)
'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time
(For you)
'Til the end of time
(For you)
'Til the end of time

And I closed my eyes
And then she sighed
For she was

Slippin' away ('Til the end of time)
Slippin' away ('Til the end of time)
Slippin' away ('Til the end of time)
Slippin' away ('Til the end of time)

And she was there with him, with her
Oh oh ah my baby ay
Slippin' away
Lord, she was there
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
