[00:20.64]First girl I loved
[00:24.66]Time has come I will sing you this sad goodbye song
[00:29.97]When I was seventeen I used to know you
[00:40.56]I haven't seen you now since many is the long year
[00:44.40]And the last time I seen you you said you'd joined the
[00:46.74]Church of jesus
[00:49.71]Me I remember your long red hair falling in our faces
[00:55.32]As I kissed you
[01:00.09]I want you to know we just had to grow
[01:08.73]I want you to know I just had to go
[01:17.10]And you're probably married now house and kids and all
[01:28.32]And you turned into a grownup female stranger
[01:37.23]And if I was lying near you now
[01:40.35]I just had to go
[01:50.43]Well we parted so hard
[01:54.78]Me rushing round Britain with a guitar
[01:59.79]Making love to people
[02:04.11]I didn't even like to see
[02:10.83]I would think of you
[02:14.34]Yes I mean in the six sad morning
[02:19.23]And in the lonely midnight
[02:23.58]Try to hold your face before me
[02:29.58]I want you to know I just had to go
[02:38.28]I want you to know we just had to grow
[02:47.82]And you're probably married now the house cars and all
[02:59.31]And you turned into a grownup female stranger
[03:08.04]And if I was lying near you now
[03:10.92]I'd just have to fall
[03:22.11]Well I never slept with you
[03:26.58]Though we must have made love a thousand times
[03:31.59]For we were just young didn't have no place to go
[03:42.75]But in the wide hills and beside many a long water
[03:51.39]You have gathered flowers and they do not smell for me
[04:01.74]I want you to know I just had to go
[04:10.23]I want you to know we just had to grow
[04:19.89]And it's goodbye first love and I hope you're fine
[04:31.38]Well I have a sweet woman
[04:35.19]Maybe some day to have babies by me
[04:39.51]She's pretty
[04:42.72]And a good friend of mine
