Cimorelli - Seven Years lyrics

Once I was seven years old my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends
Or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old

It was a big big world
But we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limit's
We were learning quicker
By eleven saw the world and
It was turning bitter
Never rich so we were out
To make that steady figure

Once I was 11 years old my daddy told me
Go find yourself a love or you'll be lonely
Once I was 11 years old

I always had that dream like
My daddy before me
So I started writing songs
I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always
Seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love
Will ever really know me

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was 20 years old

I only see my goals
I don't believe in failure
'Cause, I know the smallest voices
They can make it major
I got my girls with me
At least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave
I hope I'll see you later

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
I was writing 'bout everything
I saw before me once I was 20 years old
Soon we'll be 30 years old
Our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world
And we're still roaming
Soon we'll be 30 years old

I'm still learning about life
My man brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my girls are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My sister, I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
Remember life and then your life
Becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when
I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit
Once or twice a month

Soon I'll be 60 years old
Will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of
Children who can warm me
Soon I'll be 60 years old
Soon I'll be 60 years old
Will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of
Children who can warm me
Soon I'll be 60 years old

Once I was seven years old, my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends
Or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old

Once I was seven years old
