3. So Shy  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
So shy, shy, shy, and with the look that very boldest men
Can scarcely dare to meet, no matter how he’ll try to try.

So wrong, wrong, wrong and with the smile at which the rightest men
Remembers there’s such a thing like spring and wonders why.

So gay, gay, gay and with a wisdom that the wisest men
Will partly understand all that the wisest men have liked.

So young, young, young and with the something makes the oldest men,
Whoever he may be, the only man who never died.
