First time I saw her

She was still in school

Chewin' on a pencil

Playin' pool

Stayin' up all night

Full of dreams



I've known her family

Ever since we were small

Gettin' in trouble

Drivin' our folks up the wall

Wastin' time

Yeah....but we had fun

She was gonna

Ride her bike to China

Sail away on a bottle top

And as the years passed by

One night I held her close to me

That was the first time I

Said I love you

To Natalie



Carousel was crowded

So we talked for a while

Natalie said, "Baby,

You know I miss your smile...

Whenever you go away

From me."

You know that time starts tickin'

When a love starts to fade

I knew something was wrong but still

I thought we had it made

The first time I

Said I love you

To Natalie

That was the first time I

Said I love you

To Natalie



Now I look at her pictures

And I talk to these walls

Call out her name

But

She don't hear

Me at all



And she got wild and restless

Tried everything

She could take

One night I tried to stop her

But I was too late



That was the last time I

Said I love you

To Natalie



And that was the last time I

Said I love you

To Natalie



That was the last time I

Said I love you

That was the last time I

Said I love you

That was the last time I

Said I love you

To Natalie
