    He's the only singer who makes me cry so many times. I don't know how he do this, but his songs are really beautiful. His every song is saying something. Something true ;) Sometimes my throat is constricted and i can't say anything.
    Well, yes. I can say it - James Morrison is incredible ;)

    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, and be back for noon
    And there wasn’t nothin, nothin that we couldn’t do
    Once when I was little
    Oh 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
    There was a time when I trusted everyone
    There was no place that I wouldn’t go
    Spend all day on the hillside
    Next to the barley mow
    Oh once when I was little
    Yeah once when I was little
    Yeah I could dream more then
    And I’d believe more then
    That the world would 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 they’d tell me
    Tell me I was wrong
    That I can’t live in a magic world
    Coz it’s time for me grow up
    And I’ve got to live like the rest of them
    And I know things have been lost
    I could pretend more then
    And I could believe more then
    That the world it would only get better
    I could believe more then
    And I could pretend more then
    That this life it would only show me good times
    Once when I was little
    So here comes the next one
    Next in line
    Stay as young as you can
    For the longest time
    Coz those days flew by
    Like a breeze just passing through
    Once when I was little

    I very very rarely comment but that is absolutely unbelievable. An amazing voice and puts my video's to shame. Some artists you would pay good money to see because the talent is so obvious and both lyrically and vocally, James Morrison is up there with Glen Hansard, Damien Rice, Jeff Buckley and Cee Lo Green (although very different genres) as a male singer songwriter. This is why youtube is so brilliant and why James Morrison should stay a huge success!
