She Came to Shine in His Eyes

She didn’t shine for the boys in school
Or later for the guys in town
At a dance or party she’d stand there
Watching folks spinning round and round
She’d see them falling in and out of love
All a part of the game
Something she only dreamed about
Never thought she’d ever get to play

A new guy came into town one day
Seemed have trouble fitting in
Both of them were in the same boat
Dying to learn how to swim
Ran into each other when both were walking
On the outskirts of town
Found they had a lot to talk about
Started breaking new ground

She came to shine in his eyes, in his eyes
She came to shine in his eyes
An unexpected surprise, my oh my
She came to shine in his eyes

She got over the days she was plain Jane
Started a business for fun
Brought on her husband money rolled in
Her heart was taking life on the run
She never thought her time would come
When it did it arrived with a blaze
Two kids and one more coming
She felt the glow of golden days
