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 umm
Once, when I was little


Yeah I could dream more then
Yeah I believed more then
That the world

could only get better
Yeah 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

Yea once, when I, I was little

Yeah I could dream more then

Yeah I believe more then
That this world
Could only get better

Yeah I was free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could

only show me good times
Once, when 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
