What Will I Tell My Heart ? - The Harptones

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
