Slipping Away Lyrics

Slip, slip, slipping away

Slip, slip, slipping away

Lying in the shade, on a sunlit day

The blue of your dress, blue umbrella, over our heads

Held you in my arms, floating on the sea

Saltwater skin, drying in the breeze

Oooh, I was already on fire

Took our drinks outside, to a moon-silver night

Lay down side by side, held hands, looked up at the sky

I could smell fresh grass, and your shampooed hair

All of our senses, came alive right there

Oooh, we were already on fire

Oooh, with more than just desire

Lying on your bed, lights twinkled outside

High above the city, we were both high on life

I could feel your skin, your sweet desire

You trembled to the touch

And just for a moment I swear that it was love

Oooh, we were on fire

Oooh, it was more than just desire

Slip, slip, slipping away

Slip, slip, slipping away

When you gaze at the stars

You're looking back in time

Like you do years later

Thinking back to that perfect day and night
