Jackson Browne – First Girl I Loved Lyrics  Share

(feat. David Lindley)

(Robin Williamson)

[From the album "Rubaiyat: Elektra^,s 40th Anniversary"]

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
[ First Girl I Loved lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/jackson-browne/first-girl-i-loved/ ]
As I lay here in the six at 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
