Secret: The 12 Minutes Musical

(album: Random Encounters: Season 11 - 2021)

I've got a secret, one I wish I could share
With my hardworking husband, who remains unaware...
I could tell him tonight, but it's too much to bear
Timing's everything...

I've got a secret that my wife won't believe
My intentions were good, but they served to deceive
And it all appertains to that cold New Year's Eve
Timing's everything...

Honey, I'm dying to tell you something
-A secret I need you to know...
But lies are like weeds
And mine have all started to grow...

I've got a secret and there's no going back
Now I've run out of time and it's time to attack
Just get in and get out; keep the mission on track
Timing's everything

I have a secret, but it may have to wait...
I was secretly hoping I could finish your plate...
"It's police! Open up!" Huh, ten seconds late...
Timing's everything...

Searching for some kind of answer...
A key to release all my pain...
I'm losing myself
But all of my lies remain...

I've got a secret, and there's no one to tell
But this thing that you want, well, I want it as well...
Just a chance to contrive how the chips always fell
And timing's everything...

Secrets surround us; the lies we invent...
They were made out of love, for the time that we spent...
And they led to a watch in a dusty old vent...
Cause timing's everything...

I've got a secret that I'd kill you to keep:
That my kid's been through cancer and the bills have been steep!
That we're having a baby, but money is tight
-That watch is my way to get back to that night!

Caught in-a loop of deception!
The puppet cuts off its own string...
Our time has run out
And timing is everything
