Lyrics

Written & composed: charlie smalls
Music: charlie smalls

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 me
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

Chorus :
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

Chorus :
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 feel that we have-
Don't lose the feeling that we have
Don't lose the feeling that we have
