What Will I Tell My Heart?

I'm trying to explain to friends, dear

The reasons 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 what will I tell my heart?

[Chorus:]

When I smile to hide all the tears inside

What an ache it will be bring

Then I'll wander home to a telephone

That forgot how to ring, ring, ring

I'm telling 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?

[Chorus]

I could say that 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?
