| I’m trying to explain to our 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 the 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, ring, ring
|
| I tell them you’ll soon be back, dear
|
| To fool the whole town may be smart
|
| I tell them you’ll soon be back, dear
|
| 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, ring, ring
|
| I could say you’ll soon be back, dear
|
| To fool the whole town may be smart
|
| I tell them you’ll soon be back, dear
|
| But what will I tell my heart |
