IF IT ISN'T LOVE
Val Burton / Will Jason

as rec by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm  
Nov 7th 1934 New York




If it isn't love,
There are no seasons like the Summer or the Spring
(so help me there now, no!)
If it isn't love,
There are no reasons for the song I sing!


I never see the light,
The beauty beauty beauty beauty in those eyes.
(mercy!)
Open your eyes, dear!
There would be no moon, no stars, within the skies.


If it isn't love,
Then you are a vision and this is nothing but a dream!
(so help me it isn't!)
And there never was a heaven up above, up above!
(la-de-de!)


Olivia, I adore you,
So tell me dear, I implore you,
Wh-what is this thing that's got me like this?
(mercy!)
If it isn't love?
(yes!)


I only know I adore you!
Tell me dear, I implore you,
What else can it be,
Oh baby, if it isn't love?
(yes, mercy me!)
