judy collins - first boy i loved lyrics

Loading...

first boy 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, many is the short year
and the last time i seen you
you said you’d joined the church of jesus
well me, i remember your long red hair falling in our faces
as you kissed me

and i want you to know, i just had to go
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 grownup male stranger
and if i was lying with you now,
i’d just have to fall

we parted so hard
me, rushing round britain with a guitar
making love to people
that i didn’t even like to see
well, i would think of you
yes, i mean in the six sad morning
and in the lonely midnight
try to hold your face before me

and i want you to know, i just had to go
and i want you to know, we just had to grow
and you’re probably married now, kids and all
and you turned into a grownup male stranger
and if i was lying with you now,
i wouldn’t be here at all.

i never slept with you
but we must have made love a thousand times.
for we were just young, didn’t have no place to go
yet in the wide hills and by many a long water
you have gathered flowers, and did they not smell for me?
and i want you to know, we just had to grow
and i want you to know, i just had to go

so it’s goodbye first love
and i hope you are fine
i am a sweet man’s woman
maybe some day to have babies by
he’s a true friend of mine
