What Shall I Say? - Teddy Wilson & His Orchestra

What shall I say

When our neighbours want us to come to tea?

They don’t know you’re not with me What shall I say?

What shall I say

When the phone rings and someone asks for you

They don’t know I ask for you too

What shall I say?

How can I hide the tears inside

How can I face the crowd?

I can, make lips of mine be still

But my heart sighs too loud

I could explain that

You’re only gone for a walk to shop

But after the week is up What shall I say?
