Lyrics
"Some Secrets" M. Leppard c 1994
Some secrets will go to my grave
and some are not worthy to keep
some secrets make people insane
they toss and they turn in their sleep
sometimes a secret is told with the eyes
for it's far too potent to hear
I'll keep your secret
got no urge to repeat it
for this is a sweet gift of mine
some secrets are learned when we're young
and burden our hearts for a while
some secrets aren't healthy at all
they poison the place where they lie
sometimes a secret will wither away
all on it's own it will fade
I'll keep your secret
got no urge to repeat it
for this is a sweet gift of mine
sweet gift of mine
sweet gift of mine
sweet gift of mine
sweet gift of mine
Some secrets are made to recall
deliciously sweet to review
such memories we treasure and hold
I guarantee you've a few
I got your secret on the first day
the way you avoided my eyes
I'll keep your secret
got no urge to repeat it
for this is a sweet gift of mine
sweet gift of mine
sweet gift of mine
sweet gift of mine
sweet gift of mine
