What Will I Tell My Heart

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 stranger

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 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 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

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 can I tell my heart

oh, what will I tell my heart
