LET’S CALL A HEART A HEART

Arthur Johnston / Sonny Burke

When we’re in a friendly situation

My conversation may not be smart

But if we’re to have a perfect understanding

Let’s call a heart a heart

There are words that should be whispered

That’s evidently the way to start

If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding

Let’s 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 we’d call a true confession

And in discretion on someone’s part

But if I’m to say how madly I adore you

Let’s call a heart a heart
