jackson browne - first girl i loved lyrics

Loading...

(from the alb-m rubaiyat: elektra’s 40th anniversary; performed by jackson browne with david lindley)

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
