Can You, Sweetheart, Keep a Secret? Copyright, 1876. by Geo. W. Richardson & Co. Words and Music by H. M. Eastbrooke. 
Can you, sweetheart, keep a secret, If I whisper one to you? I will say it very softly, Can you. sweetheart, keep it true? Bend your head a little lower, Put aside each curling tress; For the words I'll gently whisper, And their meaning, can you guess? 
Chorus. Can you, sweetheart, keep a secret. If I whisper one to you? I will say it very softly, Can you, sweetheart, keep it true? 
Do not turn away so shyly, For my passion you must know; Let me look into your face, love, Where the roses come and go. Let me look but once, my darling, In your eyes of deepest blue; Filled with love-light, warm and tender And I'll guess your secret, too.-Chorus 
Ah! no longer 'tis a secret, For within those dewy eyes; Veiled by lashes long and silken, Only pure affection lies;' Brighter than the stars of evening, On my brow they seem to shine, And I fold my arms about you, Knowing you are wholly mine.-Chorus
