I Knew I Belonged to Her is a deleted song from the 1967 Disney film,The Jungle Book written by Terry Gilkyson. It featured Mowgli.Like the songs by Gilkyson, save for "The Bare Necessities", this song was cut.

Lyrics
Mowgli (spoken): Oh, Bagheera, before you send me away, let me tell you something that happened.

(sung): Last night I dreamed a most wonderful dream

Of places that I have once known

On the edge of the forest

By a clear water stream

Was a garden of flowers full grown

But I knew, oh, I knew I had been there before

Down the dark path of memories I roam

And when I saw a house with a wide-open door

Then I knew I belonged to that home

I knew, oh, I knew I belonged to it

Though it's all just a dream even so

It had something sweet as a song to it

That someone had sung long ago

A voice soft and lorn seemed to call out to me

"Welcome home, little wanderer"

and when I saw the face I was longing to see

I said "Mother oh, me mother"

And I knew I belonged to her
