When I first (Fm7)saw him stand ing there,
I longed to speak but did not dare.
Some thing in side
whis pered to (Bb)me, “You bet ter move in care ful ly.”
And then he smiled and turned a way;
that told me all he could not say.
That’s when I knew he want ed me too,
but I’d have to (G7)do some break in’ through.
He’s so (Fm7)shy,
he’s so (Fm7)shy,
that sweet (Eb)lit tle boy who (Ab)caught (Eb)my (Bb)eye.
He’s (Cm7)so (Fm7)shy,
he’s so (Fm7)shy,
and he’s (Eb)much too good to (Ab)let (Eb)get (Bb)by.
Whoa, yes he is!
Now hold ing him (Fm7)gen tly through the night,
noth ing has ev er felt so right.
And I’m so glad
I took the (Bb)time
that I had to to make him mine.
He still can do things to my heart
just like he did right from the start
each time I see
he that qual i ty
that nev er stops (G7)do at tract ing me.
He’s so (Fm7)shy,
he’s so (Fm7)shy,
that sweet (Eb)lit tle boy who (Ab)caught (Eb)my (Bb)eye.
He’s (Cm7)so (Fm7)shy,
he’s so (Fm7)shy,
and I’ll (Eb)love him till the (Ab)day (Eb)I (Bb)die.
Oh, yes I will!
Now hold ing him
Ooh, he’s so (Fm7)shy, Yeah, he’s so shy.
(Oo ee, oo ee, ba He’s by.) shy.
(Oo ee, oo ee, ba He’s by.) shy.
(Oo ee, oo ee, ba He’s by.) shy.
(Oo ee, oo ee, ba He’s by.) shy.
