Jackson Browne - First Girl I Loved Lyrics
(from the album rubaiyat: elektras 40th anniversary; performed by jackson browne with david lindley)First girl I loved--Time has come I will sing the sad goodbye songWhen I was seventeen, I used to know youAnd I havent seen you now in so many yearsAnd the last time I saw youYou said you joined the church of jesusBut me I remember your long red hairFalling in our faces as I kissed youI just want you to know I just had to goI just want you to know I just had to growAnd youre probably married nowWith a house and car and allAnd you turned into a grown-up female strangerIf I was lyin by you now, I wouldnt be here at allWell we parted so hardMe rushing round new york with a guitarMaking love to people I didnt even like to seeAnd I still sometimes think of youAs I lay here in the six at morningAnd in the lonely midnightIve got to hold your face before meI just want you to know I just had to goI just want you to know I just had to growAnd youre probably married nowWith kids and allAnd you turned into a grown-up female strangerIf I was lyin by you now, Id just have to fallAnd I never slept with youThough we must have made love a thousand timescause we were just youngDidnt have no place to goI just want you to know I just had to goI just want you to know I just had to growSo its goodbye first loveAnd I hope youre fineI have a sweet womanMaybe someday shell have babies by me(she pretty)Shes a true friend of mine
