Go on and sing, my heart
You know it's Spring, my heart
So why not show it

Pretend you're glad, my heart
Although you're sad, my heart
He mustn't know it

Remember love is not an easy game
No two hearts ever beat quite the same

Go on and dance, my heart
This is romance, my heart
So keep pretending

Do not despair, my heart
We still may share, my heart
That happy ending

If it's to be, we soon shall see
And if it's not to be
No power on Earth can make it so

You know it's Spring, my heart
Go on and sing, my heart
For if you sing, he'll never know

(Orchestral Interlude)

Go on and dance, my heart
This is romance, my heart
So keep pretending

Do not despair, my heart
We still may share, my heart
That happy ending

If it's to be, we soon shall see
And if it's not to be
No power on Earth can make it so

You know it's Spring, my heart
Go on and sing
Until we know

SING MY HEART (Jack Hylton)


as recorded by Peggy Dell with Jack Hylton 
& his Orchestra  
1939


Go on and sing, my heart,
You know it's Spring, my heart,
So why not show it?
Pretend you're glad, my hea,rt
Although you're sad, my heart,
He mustn't know it!

Remember love is not an easy game,
No two hearts ever beat quite the same!

Go on advance, my heart,
Our only chance, my heart,
Is to forget him!
Should you despair, my heart,
He'll know we care, my heart,
And we'll regret him!

If it's to be, we soon shall see,
And if it's not, will be
No power on earth can make it so!
Pretend it's Spring, my heart,
Go on and sing, my heart,
For if you sing he'll never know!
