Secret love
Kelly Wright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I had a secret love,
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,
And why I'm so in love with you

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,
There was a time when I had a hidden affection,


That lived within the heart of me
This love was concealed deep inside my heart,


All too soon my secret love,
Unfortunately, my secret love,


Became impatient to be free
became eager and restless to be expressed,


So I told a friendly star,
Then I confided in a sympathetic star,


The way that dreamers often do
like many dreamers tend to,


Just how wonderful you are,
about how admirable and special you are to me,


And why I'm so in love with you
and the reason behind my intense affection for you.


Now, I shout it from the highest hills
Nowadays, I proclaim it boldly everywhere,


Even told the golden daffodils
I even disclosed it to the golden daffodils,


At last my hearts an open door,
Eventually, my heart has become an open door,


And my secret love's
so my once-hidden love,


No secret anymore.
is no longer a secret to anyone.
