What Will I Tell My Heart

What Will I Tell My Heart - Ella Fitzgerald

Written by：Tinturin/Lawrence/Gordon

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 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

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

Oh baby

Oh what will I tell my heart
