I was the one who would always jump in first
|
I 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, be back for noon
|
And there wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do
|
Oh, once when I was little, once when I was little
|
|
Yeah, I could dream more then
|
I could believed 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
|
|
There was a time when I trusted everyone
|
There was no place that I would not go
|
Spend all day on the hillside next to the barley mow
|
Oh, once when I was little, yeah, once when I was little
|
|
Yeah, I could dream more then
|
And I 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
|
And I've got to live like the rest of them
|
Well, I know things have been lost
|
|
Oh, I could pretend more then
|
And I could believe more then
|
That the world, it would only get better
|
|
Oh, I could believe more then, yes I could
|
And I could pretend more then
|
That this life, it could only show me good times
|
Once when I was little
|
|
So here comes the next one, 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
|
|
