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

 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 the walls

Call out her name

 But She don't hear

 Me at all

Solo

 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
