Once When I Was Little -- James Morrison

I was the one,  who would always  jump in first Didn't think twice to look behind
Got such a good feeling,  just from playing  in the dirt Once,  when I was little
We could build a rocket,  fly to the moon Leave Tuesday morning, 
and be back for noon There wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do
Once, when I was little  Once, when I was little

(**) I could dream more then  I believed more then That the world could only 
get better I was free more then I could pretend more then That this life could 
only show me good times Once, when I was little 

There was a time  when I trusted everyone Yes I did There was no place 
that I would not go oh no Spend a day on the hillside  next to the holly mo
Oh once, when I was little  once, when I, I was little

(**) 

Used to feel so strong  Even when they tell me, tell me I was wrong
That I can't live  in a magic world  Cause it's time  for me to grow up
That I got to be   like the rest of them  When I know there acting up ohh
I could believe more then yes I could I could pretend more then
That this life could  only get better I could believe more 
then yes I could  I could pretend more then  That this world could 
only show me good times  Once, when I was little  When I was little

So here comes the next one,  the next in line  Stay as young you can, 
for the longest time Cause those days flew by  Like a breeze 
just passing through  Once, when I was little

Morrison explained this song "It's about realizing what used to be good about when

you were a kid, when you're really naïve. You are positive and innocent and can do

whatever you dream."            (songfacts)
