David Crosby Natalie Lyrics

Natalie Lyrics

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
