This Is No Laughing Matter

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 a 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…!
