I’ve held this secret deep within

A quiet truth a gentle sin

That when you smile the world feels right

And every star ignites the night.

I’ve whispered your name in silent prayer

Wishing you’d know how much I care

But fear has kept me far away

Afraid of what you’d have to say.

Yet here I stand with heart laid bare

No more to hide no more despair

For love though timid knows no end—

And in you I’ve found my truest friend.

So hear me now if only once

This love I’ve kept my soul’s deep song:

With you I’ve learned the art of grace

And in your eyes I’ve found my place.
