Secret Kiss Lyrics

A secret kiss
Reminded me of what I miss
Some kind of forgotten bliss
On this summer's eve

Though the seasons deceive
Curled up by honesty
You still make me believe

Is this the rock
That you're daring me to cross?
Down the river to the docks
That's where we'll meet

Where the pale light creeps
Into her majesty
You still make me believe

So far away (so far away...)
Can't get away
So far away
But that's alright (that's alright...)

Jewels and pearls
And all the wonders of the world
Mean nothing until I return
In time for tea

Sit on my settee
Lost in my memories
You still make me believe
You make me believe...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this appears to be about a romance that was great but then they split up and then, later on down the line, they ended up kissing and, maybe they both have other lovers at that time, it causes a lot of frustration and doubt

"And all the wonders of the world Mean nothing until I return In time for tea Sat on my settee" I love this verse. It reminds me so much of somebody I know that it's almost unreal. The idea of the "wonders of the world" meaning "nothing" until you can sit on your settee and eat your tea. Because to him (and perhaps also to the singer) it is eating your dinner in your living room that is the real "wonder". I think within the context of the song, suddenly becoming involved with an old lover the idea of the settee and your tea is the idea of stability. He's questioning whether he'd rather have this old flame or whether he'd rather stay as the "rock" and be able to eat his tea in his own living room
