[Verse 1]
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 maybe 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 that 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 runnin' to me
Whenever times are bad

[Chorus]
(Don't lose the feelin' that we have)
(Don't lose the feelin' that we have)
[Verse 2]
Though you are growin' 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
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
And I'd like to know it's there
The feeling that we have

[Chorus]
(Don't lose the feelin' that we have)
(Don't lose the feelin' that we have)
(Don't lose the feelin' that we have)
