This I must say is a work in progress. It is not easy to write a lyrical

poem, without copying the song itself, and a lot of the meter depends

on how it is sung which may not translate well in simple lyrical form.

 

However the point of this was to have fun, and fun was had. I also must thank

the person who showed me the song, as she herself is a singer with a most beautiful

voice. Who knows, one day you all may be listening to her, thanks Chloe!

It’s a Secret It’s a secret If you keep it If you mean it to keep It’s our little secret, I shall whisper Promise never to speak It’s a secret Never told you Never told anyone Now you know it, the truth… It can’t be undone It’s a secret. It’s a secret never to be unsung Don’t you show it Pretend not to know it Keep it close to your heart Cause it’s not a secret if you go out…before The hoarders of secrets after the dark in Lahore If you tell it Might as well have yelled it And that simply won’t do Have to make the secret an agreement between just us two Swear it and never dare it, keep it close to the heart Now you told it, so you sold it Now you know what must be A secret is no secret when is more than us you see Let your hair down, let you eyes close, It’s just you and me As the poison makes its it motion Soon you will sleep eternally Now it’s a real secret, So secret Even if it’s out there somewhere No one knows it for sure, if you cant say what they dare So sleep deeply and forget it The promises we made If you cant keep a secret Or know when lips sealed You will have to weep it As you bleed it And dig your own grave You are lifeless and are flightless Secrets can be so re-made To the graveyard, goes the keeper Of secrets un-screamed To the graveyard, goes the seeker Whose claims are inane It’s a secret If you keep it If you mean it to keep It’s our little secret, I whisper as you Promise never to speak

I promiseI won't tell....Ssshhh : ).A secret is a secret if it wont be spread..nor said...Nor to your neighbour,or your mom,not even to the one lying next to you in bed...Yes I do believe if I want to keep a secret..It would only be between me and God : )..Other than that its no secret at all : ).Very entertaining... Loved it Art.
