I know what the secret is to keep.
I know what the secret is today.
It started with a little note in the second hand that my mother wrote.
My dad keeps it close like a perfect gentleman.
Written on the back a photograph that he stuck on the inside of his wallet,
which he keeps on him, like a perfect gentleman.
and it read:
“I know what the secret is to you,
and I know exactly what I want to do.
I love you more than ever tonight and I’ll show you by the letter I write,
if you’ll keep me close like a perfect gentleman.
I’ll love you every single second that you let me take a glance.
I’ll let you take my hand, just don’t let me down tonight.”
If I know what the secret is to keep, can I find out what it’s like to be alive?
If you’ll keep me on the back of a photograph that’s a still-frame of good times we’ve had,
then I’ll keep you close like a perfect gentleman.
