James Morrison - Once when I was little

James Morrison gives an acoustic performance of his song 'Once when I was little' from the album 'Songs for you, truths for me'.
------------------------------
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
And 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
Once when I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
And I believe more then
That the world
Could only get better
Yeah I could be free more then
And 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
Spend a day on the hillside
Next to the barley mow
Oh once when I was little
Yeah once when I, I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
And I believe more then
That this life
Could only get better
Yeah I could be free more then
And I could pretend more then
That this world 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
And I got to be
Like the rest of them
When I know
There acting up

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
