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
Running to me
Whenever times are bad
