Lyrics

Between the Lines
Terry Eilers-Kincaid and Mariam
BMI 2006

No return address on the envelope
It?s hardly sealed at all
You won?t make it to the top they say
If you?re afraid to fall
You?re given more than a few good years
To read that page of life
But don?t forget how important it is
To read between the lines

It?s not always what you say that matters
It?s more often what you mean
And when it?s all said and done
Don?t count much all you?ve seen
There?ll come a time, you?ll be looking back
At how you took that ride
And I hope for your sake, you can say, you?ve
Read between the lines

Chorus

When she said she?d love you forever
Did you never turn away
When he said I need you Dad
Did you take the time and play
And when they were old and asked for forgiveness
For failed plans of their design
Did you hold their hand in yours and say you?d
Read between the lines

I guess I?ll make no excuses
Just done what I could do
And every day gets a little closer
To my job being through
And so I?ll call on the telephone for no reason
And drop by more time to time
And hope that you?ll try to understand
And read between the lines

Chorus
