You write "hello" and "how've you been?"
"Where have you got to, who've you seen?"
You're keen to hear of all our news
On world events you want our views
"Are the children doing well?"
And "any gossip? Please do tell!"
But you don't speak of travel plans
Or holidays to foreign lands
The words that you have written there
Are hiding things that you won't share
But I can always see the signs
For I don't forget to read between the lines
You'd tell me how you'd really want
To go back to our restaurant
We've always met this time of year
Upon the banks of Windermere
There we'd gather and talk of things
The time flew by as if on wings
But now you write those days were fun
And you'll remember every one
The words that you have written there
Are hiding things that you won't share
But I can always see the signs
For I don't forget to read between the lines
The good friend that I knew
Though no longer in plain view
Continues to be thoughtful to be kind
But knowing you so well
It is easy for me to tell
Your soul is gently leaving us behind
The words that you have written there
Are hiding things that you won't share
But I can always see the signs
For I don't forget to read between the lines
I don't forget to read
Read between the lines
I don't forget to read
Read between the lines
I don't forget to read
Read between the lines
