Secret Love

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. more »

Once I had a secret love 
 That lived within the heart of me 
 All too soon that 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'm so in love with you 
 Now I shout it from the highest hills 
 Even told the golden daffodils 
 At last my heart's 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 heart's an open door 
 And my secret love's no secret anymore
