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
