Don’t tell Mary
About holding hands
The walk behind the wall
Don’t tell Mary how we held so close
No, no don’t tell

Don’t tell Mary how we talked so low
Making plans today
Don’t tell Mary about our love
No, no don’t say

Our love is brightness
Shining like the sky
Hard to hide this feeling
Oh, we must try

Mary is so fragile
Waiting in the hall
Time bends so slowly
Waiting for the call

Our love is brightness
Shining like the sky
Hard to hide this feeling
Oh, we must try

Her man is so distant
Apart by space and time
Serving us and duty
Behind enemy lines 

The phone rings, she picks up
Eyes to the ground
A life suddenly swallowed
Her breathing the only sound

Our love is brightness
Shining like the sky
Hard to hide this feeling
Oh, we must try

Don’t tell Mary
About holding hands
The walk behind the wall
Don’t tell Mary how we held so close
No, no don’t tell

Don’t tell Mary how we talked so low
Making plans today
Don’t tell Mary about our love
No, no don’t say
