I've been a little reluctant
to share my feelings out
loud
I've never done well addressing
a crowd
but love can't live in shadows
that's not what love's about
it's time romance in the
closet came out....
Call the Times with the news
tell them "Boys, stop the
presses
I've got a headline for you"
just say: "I certify there's
guy
whose love is true"
Tell the ships out at sea
not to send SOS's
everything's fin'ly okay
I'm content with a gent who
has sent the clouds away
climb the highest church
steeple
and tell all the folks
I have what they're down
on their knees for
I love you and
it's no secret anymore
Tell Dear Abbey to write
what she wants it won't matter
because I don't need advice
what you've got it too hot
for me not
to roll the dice
Let the rumors go wild
let the gossips just chatter
and let the scandal commence
we'll just tell them we fell
and to hell
with common sense
Take a deep breath
and sing it
all over the place
and then breathlessly whisper
the encore
I love you and
it's no secret anymore
I've always played love to
close to the vest
trying to hide it somehow
acting as if I were under
arrest
till now
Put a sign in Times Square
get an internet address
baby dot com turtledove
ring a bell, start to yell,
but just tell
them we're in love
Get a billboard and paint
it
a hundred feet high
tell all the world what they're
in for
you're the man that I simply
adore
I love you and
it's no secret anymore
