First Girl I Loved Lyrics

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 sick sad 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
