I′ll try 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 why tell a lie to your heart

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

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 be 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
