I'll try to explain to friends, dear
The reason we two are apart
I know what to tell our friends, dear
But what can I tell my heart?
It's easy to say to strangers
That we played the game from the start
It's easy to lie to strangers
But why tell a lie to your heart?
When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I'm could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town, maybe smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart?
When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
Lord, that forgot how to ring
I could say that you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town, maybe smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what will I tell my heart?
Oh what will I tell my heart?
