Secret love
Kirby Kathy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon that 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
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's 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 heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore
The lyrics of Kirby Kathy's song Secret Love are about a narrator who has a secret love that they have kept hidden inside their heart. However, this love becomes too overwhelming to keep to themselves, and they become impatient to share it. The singer then confides in a friendly star, expressing their love and admiration for this person. They rave about this person's wonderful qualities and explain why they are so in love with them. Eventually, the singer decides to shout their love from the highest hills, telling anyone who will listen, including even the golden daffodils. They declare that their heart is now an open door, and their secret love is no longer a secret.
The lyrics are a powerful expression of the joy and freedom that comes with finally revealing a long-held secret love. The song is filled with metaphor and imagery, such as the "friendly star" that the singer confides in, and the "golden daffodils" that hear their declaration of love. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that the singer's love is now out in the open, with no more secrets to keep.

Once I had a secret love
I used to have a love that I kept hidden from everyone
That lived within the heart of me
It was a love that I felt deep within my heart
All too soon that secret love
However, that love couldn't stay hidden for long
Became impatient to be free
It wanted to be expressed and set free
So I told a friendly star
I confided in the stars, as many dreamers do
The way that dreamers often do
Dreamers often pour their heart out to the stars above
Just how wonderful you are
I told the star how amazing you are
And why I'm so in love with you
I explained to it why I'm deeply in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Now I proudly declare my love to the world
Even told the golden daffodils
I even shared it with the flowers around me
At last my heart's an open door
My heart is now open to show my love
And my secret love's no secret anymore
My hidden love is not a secret anymore
Now I shout it from the highest hills
I am no longer afraid to proclaim my love openly
Even told the golden daffodils
I even shouted it to the flowers without hesitation
At last my heart's an open door
Finally, my heart is free and open
And my secret love's no secret anymore
My love is known to all and no longer hidden
