Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
I used to have an unspoken love in my heart.
That lived within the heart of me
It was a feeling that only existed inside of me.
All too soon my secret love,
However, it didn't stay a secret for long.
Became impatient to be free
It wanted to be expressed and made public.
So I told a friendly star,
I confided in the stars, as dreamers often do.
The way that dreamers often do
People with big dreams tend to seek comfort in celestial bodies.
Just how wonderful you are,
I spoke of how amazing and special you are.
And why I'm so in love with you
I explained why I love you so much.
Now, I shout it from the highest hills
Now, I openly proclaim my love for you.
Even told the golden daffodils
I even shared my feelings with nature – the flowers and plants.
At last my hearts an open door,
Finally, my heart is open and free to express its love.
And my secret love's
There is no more love that I am hiding away.
No secret anymore.
Because everything is out in the open now.
