Writers: Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster

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 am so in love with you.

Now I shout it from the highest hills,
I even told the golden daffodils,
At last my heart’s an open door,
And my secret love’s no secret anymore.
