ONCE WHEN I WAS LITTLE

“It’s about my growing up, from childhood to now….and beyond, and it’s a really personal feeling I wanted to get across. I was thinking about what it was like when you were little and all the good things about it, the innocence. But also the sad fact that you lose that free feeling when you grow up.”
‘Once When I Was Little’ has been used in CW’s One Tree Hill (s06e15).
Lyrics
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 we couldn’t do
Once when I was little
Once when I was little
Yeah I could dream more then
I 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
Once when I was little
Once when I was little
Yeah I could dream more then
I could 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 theyd 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’ve got to live like the rest of them
And I know things have been lost
I could pretend more then
I could believemore then
That the world would only get better
I could believe more then, yes I could
I could pretend more then
That this life 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
