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
Mmm
Once when I was little

Yeah
I could dream more then
I could believe more then that the world could only get better
I could be free more then
I could pretend more then that this life could only show me good times
Once when I was little
Mmm

There was a time when I trusted everyone
There was no place that I wouldn't go
Spend all day on the hillside next to the holly mo
Oh
Once when I was little
Yeah
Once when I was little

Yeah
I could dream more then
I could believe more then that the world could only get better
I could be free more then
I could pretend more then that this life could only show me good times
Once when I was little

I used to feel so strong even when they'd 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 they're acting up
Oh

I could pretend more then
I could believe more then that the world
It would only get better
Whoa
I could believe more then
Yes I could
I could pretend more then that this life
It could only show me good times
Once when I was little
Mmm

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
