Story Behind The Song

Don and I were on a mission to finally write a happy song. We began brainstorming things that made us smile and decided to write about crushes - one of my favourite things to have! The song, to me, is the moment when someone is revealing how much they like someone; telling a secret to them, hence "Secret to Tell".

Lyrics

SECRET TO TELL
Don McLeod, Ali Milner

C-C-C-Bb-C
I LIKE TO SKIP IN THE RAIN AND HUM A MELODY
I LIKE THE WAY THAT YOU LAUGH AND CALL ME CRAZY
I LIKE THE SUN WHEN IT SHINES, THAT'S MY FAVORITE THING...
NEXT TO YOU, I WANNA BE NEXT TO YOU

C-C/Bb-C/A-Bb-C
YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT SHY AND I LIKE IT
I SAW A STAR IN YOUR EYES AND I MADE A WISH
I AM READY TO FLY WON'T YOU COME WITH, ME TONIGHT
I'LL TAKE YOU ON A CARPET RIDE

(CHORUS) F-C-Bb-C X2
I'VE GOT A SECRET TO TELL
I THINK I KINDA LIKE YOU... I THINK YOU LIKE ME TOO
EVERYTIME YOU SMILE I REALIZE THAT THERE'S NOBODY LIKE YOU
I THINK I KINDA LIKE YOU... I THINK YOU LIKE ME TOO

LET'S TAKE A WALK IN THE PARK AND PLAY ON THE SWINGS
OR WE COULD JUST SIT AND TALK UNDER A WILLOW TREE
LAYING DOWN IN THE GRASS WITH THE SUMMER BREEZE... EVERY NIGHT
IT COULD BE YOU AND I

PICTURE YOU ARE THE CONE AND I'M THE ICE CREAM
IT'S LIKE WE JUST SEEM TO GO, DON'T YOU AGREE
YOUR TOUCH IS SO SOFT AND WARM IT'S GOT ME MELTING
NEXT TO YOU... I LOVE BEING NEXT TO YOU

(CHORUS) F-C-Bb-C X2

(BRIDGE) F-C-Bb-C
EVERY TIME I SEE YOU, I GET TURNED UP SIDE DOWN
YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO BE THE ONE, TO TURN ME BACK AROUND

Soft (CHORUS) F-C-Bb-C X2
I'VE GOT A SECRET TO TELL
I THINK I KINDA LIKE YOU... I THINK YOU LIKE ME TOO
(FULL)
EVERYTIME YOU SMILE I REALIZE THAT THERE'S NOBODY LIKE YOU
I THINK I KINDA LIKE YOU... I THINK YOU LIKE ME TOO

(CHORUS) F-C-Bb-C X2
I'VE GOT A SECRET TO TELL
I THINK I KINDA LIKE YOU... I THINK YOU LIKE ME TOO
EVERYTIME YOU SMILE I REALIZE THAT THERE'S NOBODY LIKE YOU
I THINK I KINDA LIKE YOU... I THINK YOU LIKE ME TOO
