Our Secret -written by Jordon Rothstein for Carol and Walter Baris
You know that I have a secret inside
That no one else knows but you and I
With so much love surrounding
And so much time here with you
I’ve come to realize a thing or two about you.
-With love so delicate
It’s no easy trick
answering questions like how
like how do we stay
day after day
So in love
I wish that I could tell you
The answer
Cause it’s simple
But I can’t
Cause it’s our secret…
You see and I see similarly
On issues and topics but not exactly
Our friends and children ask us
How do you keep a love
For sixty six years with a flame still burning bright
I reply
-With love so delicate
It’s no simple trick
answering questions like how
Like how have we stayed
day after day
So in love
I wish that I could tell you
The answer
Cause it’s simple
But I can’t
Cause it’s our secret…
But If I were to tell, could you understand
And could you keep the secret safe
Yet words are only words and often they fall short
So maybe there is nothing to tell
Maybe there is nothing to tell
wink wink
-With love so delicate
no magic trick
can help find the answers to how
Like how have we stayed
day after day
So in love
I wish that I could tell you
A bit more
Cause it’s so simple
Once you know
but it’s our secret
yes it’s our secret
oh
I don’t want to jinx it
I’m looking for a few hundred more years with you
So I’m gonna keep
Our secret…
