First I thought that I was only dreaming
Then I knew that I would soon be scheming
How to get this girl, how to approach her
Doesn't matter if there is a stir

Gabrielle, the sun shines in your eyes (That's the way we know it's Gabrielle)
(Gabrielle) Gabrielle, in school we learned the whys
But they can't explain my Gabrielle
So, hold me tight, Gabrielle

She's a little quiet, but I like that
Seems the rowdy girls were getting old hat
Gabrielle could bring me out of my shell
The others forgot me and left to raise hell

Gabrielle, the sun shines in your eyes (That's the way we know it's Gabrielle)
(Gabrielle) Gabrielle, in school we learned the whys
But they can't explain my Gabrielle
So, hold me tight (Gabrielle)

Once I had thought (It's over now)
She looked away (It's over now)
She's shy don't say (It's over now)
Must I explain it to you

(Solo)

Soon I found the merits of not waiting
How could I move on while still hesitating
She was one not likely to be improved on
I could see that the steps down her path were well worn

Gabrielle, the sun shines in your eyes (That's the way we know it's Gabrielle)
(Gabrielle) In school we learned the whys
But they can't explain my Gabrielle

So, hold me tight (Gabrielle), stand by my side (Gabrielle), just you and me, Gabrielle
