Between the Lines
The day you're born they sign a piece of paperTo certify the date of your birthAnd the day you die they sign anotherJust to prove you've gone back to the earthAnd between those two pieces of paperThere's the truth that is so hard to findAnd the story of your life is written ' , butYou must read in between the linesNow when you're young you think it doesn't matterIf you leap before you lookBut those old folks are wiser and sadderFrom the chances that they tookNow when your chance comes along, you must take itJust be careful and take your timeAnd the chances are good you will make itIf you could read in between the linesAnd when someone tells you they love youAnd that no one has ever loved you moreIt is wise to stop and consider how manyTimes they might have said that beforeBecause when love leaves you cryin'You will surely lose your mindAnd you might have known love was lyingIf you could read in between the lines
