Analysis of I've always been shy
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I've always been shy
Like the diamonds in your eyes
And the way they set me free
Is the way I'm meant to be
And though I can be blind
Your heart - I always find
Its the way I like to see
How well you're loving me
I've always been shy
Like the diamonds in your eyes
And the hearts that they can be
Forever grown in me
And when I lost my mind
My soul you did find
Building me whole
When I'm left in the cold
