"Secret Doorway" lyrics - SAL MINEO

My heart was once
A secret doorway
To which no one could find the key
My dreams were few
And melancholy
Only loneliness surrounded me
Then you walked through the secret doorway
And brought a new and hopeful song
A song of ever, everlasting springtime
And a love so kind, and yet, so strong
Your fingertips caressed my lips
And lingered there a while
My weeping heart
Long-sleeping heart
Woke up and soon began to smile
At last you taught me
The joy of loving
And I surrendered
So willingly
The day you found my secret doorway
You opened up my heart
And set me free
