Slim Whitman – Secret Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Now my heart’s an open door
And my secret love’s no secret anymore

[Verse 2]
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
Now my heart’s an open door
And my secret love’s no secret anymore
