Freddy Fender

Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free

So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I am so in love with you





Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils

At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore


'When I first heard 'Secret Love' I almost fainted, it was so
beautiful.... When we finally got around to doing the
prerecording, Ray Heindorf, the musical director at Warner's,
said he'd get the musicians in about 12:30 so they could
rehearse. That morning I did my vocal warm up, then jumped on my
bike and rode over to Warner's (we lived in Toluca Lake at the
time, which was just minutes from the studio). When I got there,
I sang the song with the orchestra for the first time. When I'd
finished, Ray called me into the sound booth, grinning from ear
to ear, and said, 'That's it. You're never going to do it
better.' That was the first and only take we did.'

- Doris Day

(1st Verse)
Wasted days and wasted nights,
I have left for you Behind
for you don′t belong to me,
your heart belongs to someone else.

(2nd Verse)
Why should I keep loving you,
when I know that you′re Not true?
And why should I call your name,
when you′re to blame
for making me Blue?

(chorus)
Don′t you remember the day,
that you went away and left me?
I was so lonely,
prayed for you only,
my love.

She's taking it easy
I'm taking it hard
She's got it together
I'm falling apart

[Chorus]
She's having a time now
Out painting the town
She's living it up now
I'm living it down

Every day I find
She's still on my mind
But I guess
She don't ever think of me

And I'd give all I own
If she'd just come back home
And forgive the fool I used to be

Ella no me quiere
No se donde esta
Y tal vez masana
A mi, volviera

[Chorus]

Well if you lose me, oh yes
You'll lose a good thing
Well if you lose me, oh yes
You'll lose a good thing

You know I love you girl
But I want you to do right
If you would only straighten up
We'd have a good life
And if you don't believe me, oh yes
You'll lose a good thing

Well if you lose me, oh yes
You'll lose a good thing
You do all your parading
With every guy in town
I try to find you, woman
And you're nowhere to be found

But if you lose me, oh yes
You'll lose a good thing
Well if you lose me, oh yes
You'll lose a good thing

You know I love you woman
I can't tell you anymore
If you don't straighten up
I'm gonna walk right out of that door

And if you don't believe me, oh yes
You'll lose a good thing, oh yes
You'll lose a good thing, oh yes, oh yes
You'll lose a good thing, don't you know

If he brings you happiness,
Then I wish you all the best,

It's your happiness that matters most of all.

But if he ever breaks your heart,

If the teardrops ever start,

I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.



Si te quire de verdad.

Y te da felicidad,

Te deseo lo mas bueno pa'los dos.

Pero si te hace llorar,

A mime puedes hablar,

Y estare' contigo cuando trieste estas.



I'll be there anytime,

You need me by your side,

To drive away every teardrop that you cried.

And if he ever leaves you blue,

Just remember, I love you ,


And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls,

And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.

Once I had a secret love

Now I shout it from the highest hills
