Lyrics What Will I Tell My Heart - Kay Starr

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 so easy to say to strangers
Can′t we play the game right from the start?
It is so easy to lie to those strangers
But what can I tell my heart?
When I smile to hide all those tears inside
What an ache
What an ache it's gonna bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I could say, I could say you′ll be back, dear
Oh, yes, to fool the whole town
That may be smart
I′ll tell them you would soon be back, dear
Tell me what; what can I tell my heart?
When I smile to hide all those tears inside
What an ache
What an ache it's gonna bring
And then I′ll wander home to a telephone
That forgot, that forgot how to ring
I could say you'll soon be back, dear
Yes, I could fool this whole town
And they may think I am smart
I may tell them you′ll soon be back, dear
Oh, but what, can I tell my heart?
What can I tell my heart?
