Arthur johnston / sonny burke
When were in a friendly situation
My conversation may not be smart
But if were to have a perfect understanding
Lets call a heart a heart
There are words that should be whispered gent@y
Thats evidently the way to start
If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding
Lets call a heart a heart
Can I prove how I yearn
Just by the turn of a phrase
Can I keep my control
When all my soul is aflame
Maybe wed call a true confession
And in discretion on someones part
But if Im to say how madly I adore you
Lets call a heart a heart
