Sal Mineo - Secret Doorway (From Rebel Without a Cause) lyrics

My heart was once A secret doorway To which no one could find the key My dreams were few And melancholy Only loneliness surrounded me Then you walked through the secret doorway And brought a new and hopeful song A song of ever, everlasting springtime And a love so kind, and yet, so strong Your fingertips caressed my lips And lingered there a while My weeping heart Long-sleeping heart Woke up and soon began to smile At last you taught me The joy of loving And I surrendered So willingly The day you found my secret doorway You opened up my heart And set me free
