Long lost love obsession and secrecy

lyrics

The Secret
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

The sun rose early the day was fine
I stepped down to the waterline
The sun rose early the day was fair
Pressed my lips to the water there

CHORUS
The water is clear and the water is cool
Descends from the highest mountain pool
The water is cool and the water is clear
The only one my secret to hear

No one knows and no one sees
Sunrise finds me on my knees
Press my lips to the wandering brook
Words spill out like from a book

CHORUS

My love for you will never die
But if we meet I'll be struck blind
My love for you is a burning thing
I can only sigh and sing

CHORUS
