About Secret Love

"Secret Love" is a song composed by Sammy Fain (music) and Paul Francis Webster (lyrics) for Calamity Jane, a 1953 musical film in which it was introduced by Doris Day in the title role. Ranked as a number 1 hit for Day on both the Billboard and Cash Box, the song also afforded Day a number 1 hit in the UK. "Secret Love" has subsequently been recorded by a wide range of artists, becoming a C&W hit firstly for Slim Whitman and later for Freddy Fender, with the song also becoming an R&B hit for Billy Stewart, whose version also reached the Top 40 as did Freddy Fender's. In the U. K., "Secret Love" would become the career record of Kathy Kirby via her 1963 remake of the song. The melody bears a slight resemblance to the opening theme of Schubert's A-major piano sonata, D.664.

Once I had secret love
That lived within this part of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impassioned to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just I wonder of your eyes
And why I'm so in love with you

Now shout this highest hill
Even told the golden best of you
And now my heart's an open door
And my secret love is no secret anymore
Ai amor mon me le quer morir
Que non miras lo que pasa en mi
Ven y da-me tu calor
Que mi corazon se muere sin tu amor
And my secret love is nno secret anymore
