Hello, I am looking for a song that my parents used to love. I have an old reel with the song on it, but it is in very bad shape.

In a DEEP voice, the lines: "17, and he was one year more, 17, and he the girl adored, 17"

Followed by the first line: "She was only 17, and he was 1 year more..."

It is a story of love, challenge, and making it against the odds.

If anyone has any ideas or tips on who sang the song, or where I might find a copy of it, please reply to me.

Thanks, 73' Charles ([e-mail])
