about

A swinging happy number. I sang this song with a guitarist mate when I'd just finished it on a gig and at the end he asked if it was written about my feelings for Stan Getz!
Great solo from Piero Tucci and lovely swinging drumming from Phil Johnson

lyrics

LYRICS
Verse
When I was younger I fell in love so easily
My heart was stronger, it recovered rapidly
But recently I've seen a different me
Oh this time I'm unsure
Don't want to spoil this love that I adore

cos ya see...
Chorus
I've got a little secret - that's filling me with doubt
That I can keep it safe inside
And not just spit it out

We thought it would be better
Not to tell everybody yet
To act like we were just good friends
Who happened to have met

Well it's getting so much harder
To keep our secret safe and sound
I want to shout it right out and holler
Tell everyone around ooooohhhhh

Baby can we please tell them
Before they're laying bets
How happy we are, how great love is
When love's as good as loving gets!
