Lyrics

She'll let you in her house If you come knockin' late at night She'll let you in her mouth If the words you say are right If you pay the price She'll let you deep inside But there's a secret garden she hides She'll let you in her car To go drivin' round She'll let you into the parts of herself That'll bring you down She'll let you in herheart If you got a hammer and a vise But into her secret garden, don't think twice You've gone a million miles How far'd you get To that place where You can't remember And you can't forget She'll lead you down a path There'll be tenderness in the air She'll let you come just far enough So you know she's really there She'll look at you and smile And her eyes will say She's got a secret garden Where everything you want Where everything you need Will always stay A million miles away

About

"Secret Garden" is a song written and performed by Bruce Springsteen. It was released in 1995 as the lead single from the film soundtrack Jerry Maguire. The song became a hit, reaching number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song has been covered by many artists, including Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, and Josh Groban. Springsteen's version of "Secret Garden" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. "Secret Garden" is a haunting and beautiful ballad, with Springsteen's trademark poetic lyrics painting a picture of hope and longing. The song has an ethereal quality, enhanced by the use of a string section. Springsteen's voice is weary and world-weary, conveying the emotion of the lyrics perfectly. The song has been interpreted in many ways, but Springsteen has said that it is ultimately about the transformative power of love. The lyrics are also said to be about a guarded, shy woman, who may give you her heart but will always have a secret place inside herself that is only accessible to her. It is also quite prevalent in film and television, having featured in titles such as The Lego Movie (2017), Jerry Maguire (1995) & The Night at the Roxbury (1998).
