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
