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
