A SONG can tell so much!

SECRET LOVERS by ATLANTIC STAR

I don’t really have a favorite song that I sing all the time, except maybe the songs on the cartoons that my son watches on Nick Jr.  Secret Lovers is really more about my mom and dad and how they met and fell in love.

My mom told me about this years ago when I was younger and I have always like the way the story about their romance and this being both their favorite songs.  My mom and dad were both involved with other people when they first discovered that they were romantically interested in each other.  They were classmates in high school and never had any interest in each other except for friends.  Several years after they graduated, about 10 or more, my mom divorced her first husband and moved into the same neighborhood as my dad.  Not knowing that he lived there until the day she was moving in and he offered to help her get all her stuff upstairs in the apartment complex. 

After she got back in the game of dating, she was involved in another relationship with one of his friends and he, at that time, was married to one of her friends, she began to see my father in a different perspective.  I guess because they were socializing as couples which made the difference. 

I guess one thing lead to another and the relationship started to grow and they started seeing each other “undercover” as you would say.  The first two stanzas of that song described their relationship exactly. [click here Song...Secret Lovers to hear/see the song]

Here we are, the two of us together
Taking this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
'Cause if they found out, it could mess up
Both our happy homes

I hate to think about us all meeting up together
'Cause soon as I looked at you, it would show on my face, yeah
Then they'll know that we've been loving each other
We can never no, no, no, no, we can't leave a trace

How could something so wrong be so right?
I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight, yeah
Living two lives, just ain't easy at all
But we gotta hang on and after fall

Secret lovers, yeah that's what we are
Trying so hard to hide the way we feel
'Cause we both belong to someone else
But we can't let it go 'cause what we feel
Is, oh so real, so real, so real

Secret lovers, yeah, that's what we are
We shouldn't be together but we can't let it go
'Cause what we feel is, oh so real
So real, so real, so real, so rea

I have often heard of couples having favorite songs to express their love but nothing as extreme as this but from this song came me which is the best thing of all but the relationship did not last, my parents are now going in different directions.  My mom is single again and loving it and my dad has remarried but he is not very happy.
