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 
umm ohh lalala

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
