In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
Maybe it’s not been long
Listening to your favorite song.
I can’t help but smile a bit
In this small room where I sit.
I remember the first time I saw you.
Beauty doesn’t come along that often.
Hence this song.
I know it’s not been long;
It’s a little early for a song.
Just thought I’d need a way
To wish you a happy birthday.
I remember the first time I saw you.
Beauty doesn’t come along that often.
Hence this song.
