First girl I loved-
|
Time has come I will sing the sad goodbye song
|
When I was seventeen, I used to know you
|
And I haven't seen you now in so many years
|
And the last time I saw you
|
You said you joined the Church of Jesus
|
But me I remember your long red hair
|
Falling in our faces as I kissed you
|
|
I just want you to know I just had to go
|
I just want you to know I just had to grow
|
And you're probably married now
|
With a house and car and all
|
And you turned into a grown-up female stranger
|
If I was lyin' by you now, I wouldn't be here at all
|
|
Well we parted so hard
|
Me rushing 'round New York with a guitar
|
Making love to people I didn't even like to see
|
And I still sometimes think of you
|
As I lay here in the six at morning
|
And in the lonely midnight
|
I've got to hold your face before me
|
|
I just want you to know I just had to go
|
I just want you to know I just had to grow
|
And you're probably married now
|
With kids and all
|
And you turned into a grown-up female stranger
|
If I was lyin' by you now, I'd just have to fall
|
|
And I never slept with you
|
Though we must have made love a thousand times
|
'Cause we were just young
|
Didn't have no place to go
|
|
I just want you to know I just had to go
|
I just want you to know I just had to grow
|
So its goodbye First Love
|
And I hope you're fine
|
I have a sweet woman
|
Maybe someday she'll have babies by me
|
(She pretty)
|
She's a true friend of mine
