Lost song...

So it's been a long time coming. A buddy of mine taught me this song a LONG time ago and lost the lyrics several years back. I've since tried to rekindle them in my memory but alas to no avail. Tonight, however, I found the ORIGINAL, hand-written copy of the tune that my buddy wrote out for me. I only know it as "The Notre Dame Song." Namely, because a couple of guys from Notre Dame wrote the tune. At least that's what I was told when he taught it to me. If you are the author or know of the author please let me know. I'd love to know the story behind it. Anyway, here's the tune. I love it. Seems appropriate for where I am right now anyway... to quote another bud of mine "POSAS"

Enjoy!...

"Notre Dame Song"
-unknown

V1. Just say there was a guy who
Who really like you and
More than a feeling just say
Just say he love you
But the strength was never there
To let you know how much he cared

V2. Maybe he was self-conscious
So insecure in all this
When you're around him he's a wreck.
Maybe that's something you like to do
For waht you put him through
It was all for nothing.

C. When all he wanted was to
Be in love with you
But you just kept leading him on
Well come on, well come on
Somebody might love you

V3. Just say he was a friend who
you grew to be with
and was good to talk to whne you had the time
You never heard it in his voice,
All the times he said nothing

V4. Maybe you like having him wait at your doorstep
Take you to dinner and try to kiss you goodnight
You never noticed in his eyes
although he claims he never cries, and he does

C. When all he wanted was to
Be in love with you
But you just kept leading him on
Well come on, well come on
Somebody might love you

V5. Just say he looked like me and you never noticed it
And maybe he's leaving and it could be forever
Well you probably wouldn't care
'Cause it was like he was never there

V6. Maybe you should think some more
And see what you're doing, know all the troubles
and feel what you've lost
'Cause it would never happen again, even if I wasn't him.
