Droevige lentegedachten

Ach, jong te zijn en dit probleem er nog op na te houden. Het is lente, nee bijna zomer hier in Nederland momenteel.

She’s one of those girls who seems to come in the spring
One look in her eyes and you forget everything
You had ready to say
And I saw her today, yeah

A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind
No matter how much I try, I can’t seem to leave her memory behind

I remember her eyes, soft, dark, and brown
Said she’d never been in trouble, even in the town

A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind
No matter how much I try, I can’t seem to leave her memory behind

A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind
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

A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind
No matter how much I try, I can’t seem to leave her memory behind

I remember her eyes, soft, dark, and brown
Said she’d never been in trouble, even in the town

A younger girl keeps a-rollin’ ‘cross my mind

She’s one of those girls who seems to come in the spring
One look in her eyes and you forget everything
