Secretly Lyrics
Why must I meet you in a secret rendezvous?
Why must we steal away to steal a kiss or two?
Why must we wait to do the things we want to do?
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh why?
Wish we didn't have to meet secretly
Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in love
Till we have the right to meet openly
Till we have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love secretly
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh why?
Wish we didn't have to meet secretly
Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in love
Till we have the right to meet openly
Till we have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love secretly
Why must we wait until we're dancing cheek to cheek?
To whisper all the words of love we long to speak?
Why must our love be like a game of hide-and-seek?
Why must we steal away to steal a kiss or two?
Why must we wait to do the things we want to do?
Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh, why, oh why?
Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in love
Till we have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love secretly
Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in love
Till we have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love secretly
To whisper all the words of love we long to speak?
Why must our love be like a game of hide-and-seek?

In 1958 when this song was released, gays and lesbians were still necessarily deeply closeted. Hard to believe this song did not become an anthem for them.
