Eleven Lyrics

I miss the little boy I was
With shiny hair and starry eyes
And an oh so much stronger heart
And my mother's love

The backyard wasn't big enough
The world all full of surprises
That I wanted to be part of

So I put on his smile
Just once again
Dress up to the nines
Without a chance
I close my eyes and count to ten
And eleven

Candle wishes don't come true
The fallen stars I called upon
Might have been somebody else's
But now what's the harm in me still trying

Oh, it takes a fool to fill my shoes
I'm number one in cut and run
The milk is spilled
It's no use crying

So I put on his smile
Just once again
Dressed up to the nines
Without a chance
I close my eyes and count to ten
Then eleven

So I put on his smile
Just once again
Dressed up to the nines
Without a chance
I close my eyes and count to ten
Then eleven
