I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, oh
Um hmm, uh hmm,
In the morning
Light of day
Leaves are falling
Slipaway, slipaway with you
And the reason
That I told
Is the feeling of never getting old
Growing old with you
In the daytime
Feel like it's almost gone
And the evening gently lingers on
And the feeling warms my glow
Fading time
Taking time we know
In the morning
Light of day
Leaves are falling
Slipaway, slipaway with you
Ooooooooh, gently slipaway
Oooh ooh ooh, gently slipaway
Oh oh oh now, gently slipaway
Um hmm, uh hmm,
Light of day
Leaves are falling
Slipaway, slipaway with you
That I told
Is the feeling of never getting old
Growing old with you
Feel like it's almost gone
And the evening gently lingers on
And the feeling warms my glow
Fading time
Taking time we know
Light of day
Leaves are falling
Slipaway, slipaway with you
Ooooooooh, gently slipaway
Oooh ooh ooh, gently slipaway
Oh oh oh now, gently slipaway

The song here is more of a nostalgia trip and feeling the serenity of fleeting moments shared with a loved one. It dives into themes of time, the passage of life, and the beauty found in forming simple connections or bonds. The name "slipaway" is both a literal departure and a metaphor for how moments can easily fade from memory, with the line "the feeling of never getting old" contrasting with the natural process of aging, highlighting the desire to freeze time while being in love. We never want to let these precious moments in life slip away from our hands.
