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
Even told the golden daffodils

At
last my heart's an open door
And my secret
love's no secret
anymore

"When
I first heard 'Secret Love' I almost fainted, it
was so
beautiful.... When we finally got
around to doing the
prerecording, Ray
Heindorf, the musical director at
Warner's,
said he'd get the musicians in about
12:30 so they could
rehearse. That morning I
did my vocal warm up, then jumped on my
bike
and rode over to Warner's (we lived in Toluca
Lake at the
time, which was just minutes from
the studio). When I got there,
I sang the song
with the orchestra for the first time. When
I'd
finished, Ray called me into the sound
booth, grinning from ear
to ear, and said,
'That's it. You're never going to do
it
better.' That was the first and only take
we did."
