That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love,
Became impatient to be free
So I told a 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.

Line by Line Meaning
Once I had a secret love,
In the past, I had romantic feelings for someone but kept it hidden from everyone else
That lived within the heart of me
These feelings were very personal and deeply rooted within me
All too soon my secret love,
Unfortunately, my desire to keep my feelings hidden didn't last very long
Became impatient to be free
My feelings became too strong to keep them quiet any longer and wanted to express them openly
So I told a friendly star,
I confided in something that doesn't judge or have opinions, like a star in the sky
The way that dreamers often do
It's common for people to have secret dreams or desires that they share with something intangible
Just how wonderful you are,
I expressed how amazing and important the person I had feelings for was to me
And why I'm so in love with you
I explained the reasons behind my emotions and how love had taken hold of me
Now, I shout it from the highest hills
I no longer hide my feelings and express them loudly and proudly for everyone to hear
Even told the golden daffodils
I share my love openly with nature and the world around me
At last my hearts an open door,
My heart is no longer closed, but open to expressing love and emotional connection
And my secret love's
The love I once kept hidden
No secret anymore.
Now, my love is open and known to everyone around me.
