Just another shy girl
People passing by
She's in the corner
Barely bats an eye
Just another shy girl
In the back of the class
Doodling in a notebook
And staring out the window glass
Just another shy girl
Eating on her own
Picking slightly at her food
And staring hopefully at her phone
Just another shy girl
Returning home again
As she shuts the door and turns
When she notices her best friend
Just another shy girl
Breaking down in tears
Learning that her best and only friend
Is moving far away from here
Just another shy girl
Even more alone
Crying in an empty classroom
Thinking she's alone
Just another shy girl
Letting out a gasp
When a boy sits down beside her
"Are you okay?" he asks
Just another shy girl
Frozen there in shock
As the boy takes her hand gently
While she continues to gawk
Just another shy girl
Emerging from her shell
As the boy wraps her in a hug
Listening to the tale she has to tell
Just another shy girl
Feeling so confused
On why the boy had come here
While the boy sits there bemused
Just another shy girl
Many years after
Not so shy anymore
She's filled with life and laughter
Just another shy girl
Confident as ever
In the arms of the same boy
"Will you ever let me go?" she asks and he responds, "Never"
Just another shy girl
Staring out at the sea
When the boy kneels down beside her
"Will you marry me?"
Just another shy girl
Walking down the aisle
They both say, "I do"
And with happy tears, they smile
Just another shy girl
With a baby in her arms
As the boy hugs them from behind
Keeping his two favorite girls warm
Just another shy girl
Eighteen years down the road
Saying goodbye to that baby girl
As she moves to her own abode
Just another shy girl
With grandkids of her own
Who call and visit often
And talk excitedly on the phone
Just another shy girl
With the boy laying by her side
As she says, "goodnight I love you" for the last time
While tears slip out of his eyes
Just another shy girl
Watching from the kingdom in the sky
Where a few days later
The boy joins her after saying his goodbye
Just another shy girl
Forever in love
With the boy who stood by her side
As they live happily above
