This Is No Laughing Matter

Charlie Spivak

I have a feeling that something is wrong,

This is not the way that things should b e

We've known each other too well and too long,

You don't have to act with me.



This is no laughing matter

Somehow I want to cry

I know your sweet and idle chatter

Really means goodbye

This is no laughing matter

I thought we'd never part

This is no time for pretty patter

While you break my heart

What of all the moon dreams shared together

Beside the garden wall,

Love can't always have that perfect weather

A little rain must fall

So think of the dreams you'll shatter

If you should say we're through

This is no laughing matter,

Darling, I'm in love with you
