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 the jasmin run wild
She was young and he was a child
And he vanished like July
Some folks, they wondered why
But old money has its friends
Ain't it funny how the truth will bend
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
Whispers, how they sound like raindrops
Hush, now we'll make it alright
She's framed by the front porch light
Suspicion, rising up like dragonflies
They say there's a story to tell
And it's 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
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
It's the family secret, yeah, yeah, 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
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
Keep it in the family now
It's the family secret, ooh, ohh, family secret
Keep it in a, keep it in a family way
Whoa, keep it in a family, family secret
Keep it in a family secret
