When I write to you and say
Everything is okay
If my letters seem gay
Can't you read between the lines?

I go dancing when I'm blue
As you wrote me to do!
But it's not like with you
Can't you read between the lines?

It might worry you
If I told you I cried every night;
You'll tell me it won't
But why take a chance that it might?

I'll be seeing you again
Only heaven knows when!
But my dear, until then
Can't you read between the lines?
