"First Girl I Loved" lyrics

First girl I loved
Time has come I will sing you this sad goodbye song
When I was seventeen I used to know you

Well I haven't seen you now in so many years
And the last time I seen you
You said you joined the church of Jesus
But me I remember your long long hair
Falling in our faces as I kissed you

Well I want you to know
We just had to grow

And you're probably married now
House and car and all
And you turned into a grown up female stranger
And if I was lying near you now
I wouldn't be here at all

Well we parted so hard
Me rushin' all around with a guitar
Making love to people
That I didn't even like to see

And I still sometimes think of you
Yes I mean in the six at morning
And in the lonely midnight
Try to hold your face before me

Well I want you to know
Just had to go
I want you to know
Just had to go

So it's goodbye first love
And I hope you're fine

First girl I loved
Time has come I will sing you this sad goodbye song
When I was seventeen I used to know you
