Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
the more you'll slip sliding away
He wore his passion for his woman
He said, Dolores, I live in fear
My love for you is overpowering,
I'm afraid that I will disappear
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
the more you slip sliding away
Well I know a woman became a wife
These are the very words she
uses to describe her life
She said a good day ain't got no rain
She said her bad days when I lie in bed
and think of things that might have been
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
the more you slip sliding
An d I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping,
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away.
Believe we're gliding down the highway,
when in fact we're slip sliding away.
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
the more you slip sliding away
I wanna love, I wanna love
I wanna love, love, love,
I want to love, I want to love,
