Lyrics Cimorelli – Seven Years

Once I was seven years old, my mama 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

Once I was eleven years old. My daddy told me,
«Go find yourself a love or you’ll be lonely.»
Once I was eleven 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 twenty years old.
My story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty 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 twenty years old.
My story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old

Soon we’ll be thirty years old,
Our songs have been sold
We’ve traveled around the world and we’re still roaming

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 sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
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 sixty 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 sixty years old

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
«Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely.»
Once I was seven years old

Once I was seven years old

Soon I’ll be sixty 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 sixty years old
