What Shall I Say?

What shall I say

When our neighbours want us to come to tea?

They don't know you're not with me

What shall I say?

What shall I say

When the phone rings and someone asks for you?

They don't know I ask for you too

What shall I say?

How can I hide the tears inside?

How can I face the crowd?

I can, make lips of mine be still

But my heart sighs too loud

I could explain that

You're gone for only a week to shop

But after the week is up

What shall I say?
