The Feeling We Once Had

[AUNT EM:]
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.

[COMPANY]
(Don't lose the feeling we once had
Don't lose the feeling we once had)

[AUNT EM]
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
