All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star

Just how wonderful you are
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

Line by Line Meaning
Once I had a secret love
There was a time when I had a love that I kept hidden
That lived within the heart of me
It resided deep within my heart
All too soon my secret love
But before long, my hidden love
Became impatient to be free
Started to yearn for freedom, longing to reveal itself
So I told a friendly star
Therefore, I confided in a star that seemed approachable
The way that dreamers often do
In the manner that dreamers frequently behave
Just how wonderful you are
Expressing the incredible qualities you possess
And why I am so in love with you
And why I am deeply in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Now, I proclaim it passionately in the most prominent locations
Even told the golden daffodils
I have even shared this with the radiant daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
Finally, my heart is transparent and accessible
And my secret love's no secret anymore
And my once hidden love is no longer concealed
