by Roger Quilter (1877 - 1953)
A secret
Language: English
My heart, my heart No one may see, It is locked away With a golden key Till another day When my love shall come As a bird to its mate With the golden key, And unlock the gate, And the world shall see! My heart, my heart No one may see, It is locked away With a golden key Till another day, another day!
