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
