The Feeling We Once Had

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 that 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'm 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 Ooh, 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 Child, don't lose the feeling that we have Though you are growing older now And I'm watching you grow I know I make you sad sometimes 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 And 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 running to me Whenever, whenever times are sad Child, I'd like to know it's there The feeling that we have 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 sad Child, I'd like to know it's there The feeling that we have --- The Feeling We Once Had - Diana Ross
