Secret Love
Eddie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told the friendly star,
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
Now I shout it from the highest hills,
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my hearts an open door,
And my secret love's no secret anymore
Now I shout it from the highest hills,
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my hearts an open door,
And my secret love's no secret anymore
In Eddie's song Secret Love, the lyrics speak about a love that was once hidden and kept a secret within the heart of the person singing. However, this love eventually became too strong to keep secret and the singer became impatient to express it openly. They then chose to reveal their love to a "friendly star" just like dreamers often do. The lyrics are symbolic and show how love can sometimes be kept hidden and difficult to express, but eventually must be set free. The use of the friendly star and golden daffodils adds a dreamy and romantic feel to the song.
The lyrics then go on to say that the singer now shouts their love from the highest hills and has even told the golden daffodils. This shows how the singer is no longer afraid to express their love openly and loudly. The line "At last my heart's an open door, and my secret love's no secret anymore" is particularly poignant, as it shows how the singer is finally open and vulnerable about their feelings.
Overall, "Secret Love" is a beautiful and emotional song about love, vulnerability, and the importance of being true to oneself and expressing one's feelings openly.

Once I had a secret love
I used to keep my love for someone a secret
That lived within the heart of me
My love was hidden inside me, and nobody knew about it
All too soon my secret love
However, I couldn't keep it a secret for long
Became impatient to be free
I wanted to be able to express my love openly
So I told the friendly star,
I found someone/something trustworthy to confide in
The way that dreamers often do
Just like someone who dreams about being with the person they love
Just how wonderful you are
I expressed my admiration and affection for you
And why I'm so in love with you
I explained the reasons why I fell in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hills,
Now I'm not afraid to tell everyone how I feel
Even told the golden daffodils
Even nature knows about my love
At last my hearts an open door,
My heart is now open to love and ready to share
And my secret love's no secret anymore
I'm not keeping my love secret any longer, everyone knows
