Ill 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? Its easy to say to strangers that we played a game from the start Its easy to lie to strangers But what will i tell my heart? When i smile tonight All the tears inside What an ache it will bring Then ill wander home To a telephone That forgot, that forgot how to ring I say now i could say youll soon be back dear To fool the whole town may be smart Ill simply tell them youll soon be back dear But what will i tell my heart? I say What? What will I tell my heart?
