The Secret
Today is the day for a secret
A secret burning to be free,
Something so big, something so small
But all the same a secret from me.
It's not anything cryptic
It's nothing dramatic at all,
Today is the day that I tell you a secret
And it makes me feel ten feet tall.
The day I first met you I was sad
Down in the dumps until I saw your smile,
That was the moment I held my secret
And sometimes I wanted to run a mile.
So here it is that secret of mine
Something I should have told you long ago,
It's from the heart and straight to the point
And it is, my lady, I love you so.
