Lyrics

You slipped into the party
Like a ghost out of the air
With your eyes as dark as midnight
I was captured by your stare
And your words come out so sweetly
Like sugar from your mouth
But I’m helpless as you turn away
Wishing things I’ll never say
But in my secret heart
I could fall in love tonight
Underneath the southern sky
In my secret heart
If you notice my intentions
You don’t call me out
Could you really be this clueless
As my spirit fills with doubt?
So you move a little closer
And flash that wicked smile
But I’m helpless as I watch you leave
Wishing I could let you see
In my secret heart
I could fall in love tonight
Underneath the southern sky
In my secret heart
Lay down, lay down

Baby I will lay thee down to sleep
The sleep of the blessed
Go to sleep
In my secret heart
All the things you’ll never know
Feelings I can never show
In my secret heart
Lay down, lay down
Baby I will lay thee down to sleep
The sleep of the blessed
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
