Can't You Read Between The Lines

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?
