@SONG: Slipping Away @ARTIST: Mariah Carey @LYRICS: M Carey @MUSIC: M Carey, D Hall

So far So far you're slipping away Away You're slipping away From the life and the love we made Baby, I'm so afraid You're So far So far you're slipping away Away You're 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 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 guess I'm learning That it's just a losing fight 'Cause there's no passion in your eyes

So far So far you're slipping away Away You're slipping away From the life and the love we made Baby, I'm so afraid You're So far So far you're slipping away Away You're slipping right out of my grasp And you're fading fast It seems you know You're slipping away from me

I keep denying that 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 last were tender And it's always touch and go The silence chills me to the bone

So far So far you're slipping away Away You're slipping away From the life and the love we made Baby, I'm so afraid You're So far So far you're slipping away Away You're slipping right out of my grasp And you're fading fast It seems you know You're slipping away from me

Away, away Away, away Away

Further, further Ooh yeah

You're so far

Time after time, I reach you 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

Time after time, I reach you 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

You're so far

So far So far you're slipping away Away You're slipping away Tell you, I just don't understand You're So far So far you're slipping away Away You're slipping right out of my grasp And you're fading fast It seems you know You're slipping away from me

Time after time, I reach you 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

Time after time, I reach you 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

Time after time, I reach you 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

Time after time, I reach you Try and I try, but you're so aloof Where is the boy that you used to be
