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.
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
that forgot how to ring.
I could say that you'll soon be back, dear,
To fool the whole town might be smart.
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear,
But what will I tell my heart?
When I smile too high,
all the tears inside
What an aid it will bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I could say that you'll soon be back,
To fool the whole town
might be smart,
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear,
But what will I tell my heart?
