The Secret
Words written for lovers. He wanted to surprise her on their anniversary, so we worked closely to ensure the writing included all their private jokes, nicknames, sayings and most personal memories, and set it in the context of their first date in Piccadilly Circus - the first time he realised he was going to marry her. He then got it printed, framed and hung in their home before she came back from work!
Piccadilly is all go, busy and bustling,
Excitement in the air, people all hustling
Could this really be my last first date?
Is this actually a rendez-vous with fate?
From out of the crowds you then appear,
The girl of my future it all becomes clear
The perfect mixture of hurricanes and sunshine,
For who I have only thoughts of love and lifetimes
Better than any girl of my dreams, you are real
A girl that I know one day before I shall kneel
For I am a man already married in amazement
Mind racing beyond the now, thoughts of engagement
I see you,
A worrier but a warrior
A lady and a legend
An angel, love of my life
Who I already can’t wait to make my wife
You carve out the world that you want,
Not accepting the one you see
You are destined to change the world,
Because you’ve already changed me
In my world of ones and zeroes you make me see a two,
The two of us, forever together, for I am only here for you
Because that’s the secret I won’t let slip just yet,
As we stand together on the Piccadilly steps,
Is to find someone that isn’t a priority but thee priority
Even if the odds are against you and in the minority
Who’s happiness becomes your happiness
Who’s goals become your goals
Someone who means more to you than anything else in the world
Someone who consumes your thoughts, and words and deeds
A queen to love, support, whatever and whenever she needs
That is the secret and it’s cute you don’t have a clue.
Not yet anyway, that you are it. That’s it. There is only you.
I could tell you a million times and you might never understand
Just how simple life has become for me wanting to be your man
You are my purpose, you are my dazzling obsession
I will fight for you every minute of every day no question
As your protector, I will never give up, on you, on us
Your shoulder to smile on, cry on, the one you can trust
There will be letters, corks and kebabs,
Bathroom action and house-selling like mad,
There will be tantrums and much huff n’puff
But that is all just the little stuff
We’ll swiftly move on to who’s luckier to have met who
Who loves the other more, which is ridiculous as obviously I do
But it’s all part of our adventure that lies ahead
An adventure filled with much pizza, no nudes anymore but noodles in bed
But it’s time to get back to our date, the first of many with you
As I begin a lifetime of happiness with my wish that came true
You are my wish that came true.
You are my wish that came true.
