i´ll try to explain to friends, dear
the reason 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 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 bring
then i´ll wander home to a telephone
oh, that forgot how to ring

i could say you´ll soon be back, dear
to fool the whole town may be smart
i could say you´ll soon be back, dear
but what can i tell my heart
oh, what will i tell my heart
