Once when I was little

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 littleYeah,

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
