What will I tell my heart? Lyrics

I'll 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?

It's easy to say to strangers,
That we played a game from the start,
It's easy to lie to strangers,
But what will I tell my heart?

When I smile to hide,
All the tears inside,
What an ache it will bring,
When I 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 will I tell my heart?

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 will I tell my heart?
