Put your arms around me child
Like when you bumped your shin
Then you'll know I love you now
As I loved you then
Though you may be trying sometimes
And I'll need you and you're not there
I may get mad and turn you away
But now I know I still care
But you can not ask for more
Than can come from me
I am different than you are
And one day you'll see
So if I lose my patience with you
And I suddenly start to scream
It's only because I want you to be
Everything I see in my dreams
And I'd like to know that it's there
The feeling we once had
Knowing that you can you can come to me
Whenever you're feeling sad
Don't lose the feeling we once had
Don't lose the feeling we once had
Though you are growing older now
And I'm watching you grow
Sure I make you sad sometimes
I see your feelings show
And one day I'll look around
And you you will be grown
You'll be out in the world
Such a pretty little girl
But you'll be on your own
And I'd like to know that it's there
The feeling we once had
When you know that you can you can come to me
Whenever you're feeling bad
The feeling we once had
Don't lose
The feeling we once had
The feeling we once had
