This Is No Laughing Matter
Buddy Kaye, Al Frisch
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
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
