What Will I Tell My Heart? lyrics

I'll try to explain to friends, dear

The reason we two are apart,

I know what to tell our friends, dear,

But what will I tell my heart?

It's easy to say to strangers

That we played a game from the start.

It's easy to lie to strangers,

But what will I tell my heart?

When I smile to hide all the tears inside

What an ache it would bring.

Then I'd wander home to a telephone

That forgot how to ring.

I could say you'll soon be back, dear,

To fool the whole town may be smart,

I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear,

But what will I tell my heart?
