And the Feeling's Good (Singer: Roberta Flack)

One by one
All my doubts and fears are disappearing
And the haze zeroed till life is rearing
Feeling steady now
Getting ready now

In my mind
Sweet and tender thoughts of you are spinning
We're together now
It's all beginning
I can make it, make it with your help
With you to love I know I can

And the feeling's good
Knowing now I got enough to give out
Yes, the feeling's good
It's a groovy kind of life to live out
And it feels so good
You know the joy, the song, keep singing out

On my way
With you near me I'll keep growing stronger
What was far from me is far no longer
And I can make it, make it with your help
With you to love I know I can

And the feeling's good
Knowing now I've got a lot to give out
And the feeling's good
It's a groovy kind of life to live out
And it feels so good
To know the joy, the song, keep singing out

Yes, it feels so good
Knowing now I've got a lot to give out
And the feeling's good
It's a groovy kind of life to live out
