(Verse 1)
Back in school, I spotted him from afar,
Soft-spoken whispers, heart of a star,
Timid eyes, they'd rarely look my way,
But oh, that boy had something to say.
He'd hide in shadows, I'd shine so bright,
My sharp words, a beacon in the night,
Guarding hearts with a fiery might,
But deep down, oh, how I'd take flight.
(Chorus)
In the hallways, where we'd never meet,
Our hearts dancing to a silent beat,
It was a love that had no repeat,
Just a schoolyard serenade so sweet.
(Verse 2)
I'd catch him looking when he thought I'd not see,
His cheeks would blush like a cherry tree,
In class, I'd whisper secrets just for he,
But the silence was all that would be.
He'd trip over his shoelaces in the breeze,
I'd laugh and help him to his knees,
In a world full of whispers and tease,
It was just him that I'd ease.
(Chorus)
In the library, under the moon's soft light,
Our glances held a quiet might,
A love song without any fight,
Just a schoolyard serenade at night.
(Bridge)
One day, I decided to break the mold,
Walked up to him, heart brave and bold,
Told him all the secrets I beheld,
He took my hand, and we grew old.
(Verse 3)
Now we're together, and the air is clear,
He whispers sweet things in my ear,
No more hiding, no more fear,
Just a love that grew from year to year.
He's still shy, but he's found his voice,
Through the storm, we've made our choice,
In the schoolyard, where we first rejoiced,
We'd share our love without poise.
(Chorus)
On the playground, where we'd dare not tread,
Our hearts bound by a single thread,
A bond that not even time can shed,
It's a schoolyard serenade, not dead.
(Outro)
So here we are, side by side,
Two souls that once tried to hide,
But love found its way and we slid,
Into a forever serenade.
(Ending)
In the schoolyard, under the old oak tree,
We'd sit and dream, just you and me,
A simple love, pure and free,
That grew from a crush into a destined melody.
