Hank Crawford - What Will I Tell My Heart lyrics

I'm trying 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 what will I tell my heart? [Chorus:] 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, ring, ring I'm telling 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 will I tell my heart? [Chorus] I could say that 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 will I tell my heart?
