I know this isn't really bass related, but this is where I know (and I don't want to go onto some random other forum with a bunch of strangers to ask a simple question).

 

I'm looking for the lyrics for a song called either slipping away or slippin away I believe. Not sure who it's by but for some reason I just can't find it online. I do have a midi file, but can't find the lyrics??? :eek:

 

The first few words are 'baby I've been watching you, watching all the things you do, and I just can't help the feeling, something else is stealing you away from me, I see it written in your eyes'

 

At about that point my knowledge of the lyrics fails.

 

Can anyone help me at all? Even just with who sings it if not the full lyrics.

There's Slipping Away by Black Sabbath (Mob Rules album), but it has different lyrics IIRC.

 

 

I was finding various other songs with similar names.

 

It's a popular song I swear.

 

Here's a zip file of the midi.

Moody, the "can see it in your eyes" almost triggers something in my memory banks, let me sit on this one for awhile, let it percolate, see what pops....

Sorry I can't help right away...the midi didn't do me any good, didn't recognize anything at all....

 

 

Any idea at all of how old the song might be? 90's? 80's?

80's I'm pretty sure....

 

The chorus is

 

ohhh slipping away from me x2

and it's breaking me in two, watching you slipping away.

Damn, there it is again..."breaking me in two" almost did it for me again....

Not the Little River Band, you don't think, is it? That vein of rock, maybe?

ps

 

I can see it written in your eyes is the first line of the second verse, it's not tagged on to the end of the first verse, it's just the last bit of the song I remember.

So far, the only thing I've found that might be close is from an album by "V" called "Better Late Than Never", but I don't recall hearing this before...take a listen:

Baby I've been watching you

Dm

Watching every thing you do

But I just can't help but feeling

Dm G C

Someone else is stealing you away from me

 

 

I see it written in your eyes

And you confirm it with your lies

And the web you weave can hold me

I'd rather that you toldme where you want to be

 

F Dm C

Oooooh you're slipping away from me

F Dm C

Oooooh you're slipping away from me

Dm

And it's breaking me in two

G C

Watching you slipping away

 

 

Repeat verses and chorus

 

Repeat the last 2 lines of the chorus twice more

 

 

Take the key up 1 to D

 

Repeat all of the above
