Folk/Country treatment of lustful, high school longing. And, of course, nothing came of it. This is latest re-mix: Bed is cleaned up with new vocal. Hope ya'll like it.

"Tho' I love writing songs I consider myself a composer. Cut my teeth on orchestration when I was a copyist for Manilow. Country influence holds sway right now.

Story behind the song
The memory of an incredibly beautiful girl I noticed on the bus to school. My car broke down and I was forced to ride... glad it happened; got to look at her and got a song out of it. She never knew I existed.
Lyrics
Suzy Thompson I. One day back in High School Had a car that bit the dust. And like a snooty upper-classman Held my nose and tooth bus. II. And on that humble transportation Sat a perfect visualization Of such beauty had to Re-consider bin' snooty. Suddenly got woozy When I laid my eyes on Suzy Chorus: Deep brown eyes so big and round, Chestnut hair a handgun' down To her shoulders. Shoulda told her, "Suzy Thompson, Suzy I'm the guy who Always worshipped from afar. Can't help wond'rin' where you are Now we're older. Shoulda told her, "Suzy Thompson I still carry the torch for you." III. It surely was a spell that I was under As I'd gaze at her; a wonder in those sweaters Ev'ry morning' on the bus And I regret I never let her know that No one filled a sweater better Chorus:
