Lyrics
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?
