Secretly
Jimmie Rodgers Lyrics


Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Why must I meet you in a secret rendezvous?
Why must we steal away to steal a kiss or two?
Why must we wait to do the things we want to do?

Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh why?
Wish we didn't have to meet secretly
Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in love

'Til we have the right to meet openly
'Til we have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love secretly

Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh why?
Wish we didn't have to meet secretly
Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in love

'Til we have the right to meet openly
'Til we have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love secretly

So beautiful...always loved it. RIP Jimmie Rodgers

Kent Clark

My favorite Jimmy Rodgers tune. I did this one at open mic, WWU. It's so romantic and soulful.

Robert Miller

Not a bad choice. I like the Wizard. Just snap your fingers....

My mom and dad had a old small record player and my father used to hold me and dance with me. I am 62 now, I was born in 1958. Miss my parents so much!!!!!😔😪☹

Understood, life can be good but also crummy. Unfortunately everything will end in life. You have great memories no one can ever take that from you.

Elizabeth Muller

I was also born in '58. Great memories of a happy, magical childhood and Mom and Dad!

That’s awesome!

Jorge Mario Rodas

Although this song was released in 1958 I used to hear it in the early sixties and liked it. Good song I really still enjoy hearing.

Mark
