Blank Line Collapse

I have the usual fields for address and I want to create a mail label field.

In Control Source of my label field I have:

=[title] & " " & [fName] & " " & [lname] & "
" & [addLine1] & "
" & [addLine2] & "
" & [town] & " " & [state] & " " & [postCode]

How can I make it so addLine2 does not take a blank line if there is no addLine2.

I figure you can plant a little if statement in the expression. And I guess it really is about making the newline character conditional on there being text in addLine2.

Any thoughts?
