| 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 |
