Lyrics
Your secret's safe with Me
verse-
Friend it's good to see you
Strange that we meet here
We used to burn this bar down every night
I haven't seen you since your wedding
When I was your best man
Now, who's the girl with the bedroom eyes?
He said friend I've got a secret
I know that you won't tell
My wife she doesn't know
And it's putting me through hell
But since I've met this angel
She's always on my mind
I even think I love her half the time
chorus-
So please, don't say a word
My wife won't understand and she'd be hurt
I don't know where this will lead
I said don't worry, your secret's safe with me
verse-
Friday night at the blue cafe
His angel sat alone
I asked her where our friend was
She said, "with his wife at home"
I could sense the sadness as a tear drop filled her eye
So I offered her my shoulder to lean on for the night
chorus-
She said please, don't say a word
He might not understand and he'd be hurt
God only knows you're what I need
I said, "don't worry, your secret's safe with me"
bridge-
We stayed and talked for hours
Bearing both our souls
I realized as the dawn broke
I could never let her go
verse-
Friend I had to call you, it's the least that I could do
That girl you called your angel has met somebody new
I was best man at your wedding but I'm your angel's best man now
Last night we found each other and fell in love somehow
chorus-
So please don't say a word
You can't give her all the love that she deserves
We didn't know where this would lead
But cross my heart, your secret's safe with me
Oh, yea she's right here in my arms
Yes, now and forever, your secret's safe with me.
