first girl i ever loved was everything,
taught me to whistle & she made me sing.
i’ve never been the kind to shout aloud
but something about her made me strong and proud.
i don’t know how it ended it’s been too long,
she left me singing and i love that song.
i hear the birds talking in the trees
their conversation brings back memories
of long summers and precious nights
her hair shining in the soft moonlight.
she left me memories of two souls flying
and you you you you you left me crying you left me crying.
i’ve grown accustomed to being in love with you,
being close to someone who shared my breathing.
but now we can’t pretend here come those blues again
back from I don’t know when and you are leaving.
just when you think you’ve got the hang of it,
when your emotions and your senses fit,
something comes and turns it inside out
and you know love has finally found you out.
you said you’d leave me something and you weren’t lying
and you you you you, you left me crying you left me crying.
just like a wheel it goes and comes around,
just like a wheel it goes and runs you down.
just when you think it couldn’t get much worse
love takes a wheel and throws it in reverse.
she left me self-respect and a gift for trying
and you you you you you left me crying you left me crying.
