lyrics

Hidden in the Song
Lisa Bastoni
(c)(P) 2021 Sweet Ondine Music

Did you wake up to the sunrise
Dewdrops in the meadow
Crocuses in one hand

In the other, purple heather
Did you tell her that you loved her
As the night turned into day
Did you let the fire burn
Or did you turn away

Simple words
But you can’t hide the meaning
Hidden in the song

Hidden in the song

In the song that you were singing

At the party in the backyard

You were soaking up the stars

Did you stand so close together

Or did you stand apart

Did you look her in the eye

Did you find the words to say

Or did you send a message
In every note that you played

Simple words
But you can’t hide the meaning
Hidden in the song

Hidden in the song

In the song that you were singing

Lying underneath the willow
You let it go, I guess

If I ever had a secret

Could I keep it to myself?
Would I try to press it close
Would I wait for it to fade?
Wouldn’t I be just like you
Sing the things I couldn’t say

Simple words
But you can’t hide the meaning
Hidden in the song

Hidden in the song

In the song that you were singing
