Here's the song I thought you were looking for, before I saw the other messages. Ah, it brings back memories. Merri was a senior in high school, long hair, long legs, pretty eyes, intelligent. But alas, I was far too old, being a freshman in college (and in a Catholic seminary, to boot). It made her cry, but I felt honor-bound to push her aside. The song still makes me think of her. A year's difference in age doesn't seem like anything now. Our perspectives certainly change, don't they?

  Verse 1:
  
  	      Dm      Em                       F            G
  	She's one of those girls who seems to come in the Spring
  	     Dm          Em              F         G
  	One look in her eyes and you forget everything
  	         Bb
  	You had ready to say
  	                 G7
  	And I saw her today,  yeah...
  
  Chorus:
  
  	   C                    G7                C
  	A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind

  	No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind
  	     Am
  	I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
  	           D7
  	Said she'd never been in trouble, or even in town
  	   C                    G7                C
  	A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind

  Verse 2:
    

	And should I hang around, acting like her brother
  	In a few more years, they'd call us right for each other
  	And why
  	If I wait I'll just die, yeah...
  
  	[repeat chorus]
  
  	[repeat verse 1; fade]
