Sweet breeze, blowin' through a summer dress Seen from a window above Captured in the eyes of love
Shivers, in the cool forbidden dawn Where the Iris and Jasmin run wild She was young and he was a child
He vanished like July Some folks, they wondered why But old money has its friends Ain't it funny how the truth will bend
Chorus: It's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret of her mystery...
Verse II: Whispers, how they sound like raindrops Hush now we'll make it alright She's framed by the front porch light Uuuhuh, suspicion, raising up like dragonflies They say there's a story to tell Buried in the family well
Now the congregation prays Save us from our evil ways But old money has its friends Ain't it funny how the truth will bend
Chorus: It's the family secret, it's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret, just let it be I know the secret of her mystery...
Solo: It's the family secret, it's the family secret It's the family secret, don't pass it on Daddy's angel 'til something went wrong It's the family secret, just let it be I know the secret to her mystery
Keep it in the family now, behind closed doors Past the rows of cypress trees, through the Spanish moss Those old stone walls It's the family secret, it's the family secret
