Say It Isn’t So
(Irving Berlin)
1932
Say it isn’t so. Say it isn’t so.
Everybody’s saying you don’t love me.
Say it isn’t so.
Everywhere I go, seems like everyone I know,
whispers you’re growing tired of me.
Say it isn’t so.
Somebody’s saying that you found somebody new
And it won’t be long before you leave me.
Say it isn’t true.
Just say that everything is still okay,
that’s all I want to know,
And what they’re saying,
Say it isn’t so.
Everywhere I go, seems like everyone I know,
whispers you’re growing tired of me.
Say it isn’t so.
Somebody’s saying that you found somebody new
and it won’t be long before you leave me.
Say it isn’t true.
Just say everything is still okay,
That’s all I want to know,
And what they’re saying,
Say it isn’t so.
What they’re saying,
Say it isn’t so.
I was introduced to this song by the singing of the ebullient Sippie Wallace (author of Woman Be Wise). I simply had to learn it. I had no idea that the author of God Bless America could also write like this.
