What will I tell my Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 stranger
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
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
