Secret Love
L. A. 4 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 hill

Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
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
My secret love's no secret anymore

Line by Line Meaning

Once I had a secret love
There was a time when I had an undisclosed love


That lived within the heart of me
The love I had was a feeling deep inside me


All too soon my secret love
It didn't take long for this unshared love to


Became impatient to be free
yearn to be revealed to the world


So I told a friendly star
To release my feeling, I entrusted a benevolent star


The way that dreamers often do
Just like most idealists do


Just how wonderful you are
About how exceptional you are


And why I'm so in love with you
And why I'm madly in love with you


Now I shout it from the highest hill
I shout it from the point with the best view


Even told the golden daffodils
Letting even the yellow flowers know about it


At last my heart's an open door
Finally, my heart is open and exposed


My secret love's no secret anymore
My hidden love isn't hidden anymore

Lyrics❤

When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough

It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face

But we know this
We got a love that is homeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

When you're with him, do you call his name
Like you do when you're with me? Does it feel the same?
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down
Or would you play it safe and stay?

Girl, you know this

We got a love that is hopeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

And nobody knows I'm in love with someone's baby
I don't wanna hide us away
Tell the world about the love we're making
I'm living for that day
Someday

Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours, I'm yours

Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftop
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that

@gabslecarpentier775

I had a girlfriend who had been abused in the past and when I saw her I instantly fell in love with her. Every time I would go and hug her she would flinch because she thought I would hit her. It was the same when I would kiss her. I waited until she was ready and comfortable enough that she would kiss me. It’s been 4 years and we are engaged! 😀

Edit: we are getting married in 5 days!!!

Edit 2: We are officially MARRIED 👰!!!

Edit 3: We are having a baby!! 🤰🤰

Edit 4(2021): We had a beautiful baby girl called Alexis who is almost 1!
