The Feeling That We Have

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
 You know I may get mad and turn away
 But you know that I still care
 But you cannot ask for more
 Than can come from me
 I am older than you are
 And one day you'll see
 If I lose my patience with you
 And I suddenly start to scream
 It's only because I just want you to be
 Everything I see in my dreams
 And I'd like to know it's there
 The feeling that we have
 When you know that you can come running to me
 Whenever times are bad
 Don't lose the feeling that we have
 Don't lose the feeling that we have
 Though you're growing older now
 And I'm watching you grow
 I know I make you sad sometimes
 And I see your feelings show
 But one day I'll look around
 And you will be grown
 You'll be out in the world
 Such a pretty girl
 But you'll be on your own
 And I'd like to know it's there
 The feeling that we have
 Knowing that you can come to me
 Whenever you are sad
 Child, I'd like to know it's there
 The feeling that we have
 Don't lose the feeling that we have
 Don't lose the feeling that we have
