The Feeling We Once Had (Live)

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 I still care.

But you shouldn't ask for more
Than can come from me
I am different 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 want you to be
What I see in my dreams.

And I'd like to know that it's there
The feeling we once had
Knowing that 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
And if I make you sad sometimes
I see your feelings show.

And one day I'll look around
And 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
Knowing that you can come to me
Whenever you're feeling bad
The feeling we once had
The feeling we once had
Don't lose the feeling
The feeling we once had
Back.
