Secret Love [From Calamity Jane][Multimedia Track]

Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis

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 the 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

At last my hearts an open door,

And my secret love's no secret anymore



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
