| 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 |
