about

I first heard Sippie Wallace deliver this song is such a compelling way that I simply had to learn something about that from her. The guitar part is inspired by the big band arrangement on her recording. A bit tricky to get it all onto just six strings, but there you have it.

lyrics

Say It Isn't So (Irving Berlin)

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.
