Song Lyrics

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

Irving Gordon, Jack Lawrence, Peter Tinturin
