Isn't It a Pity

Why did I wander Here and there and yonder Wasting precious time For no reason or rhyme Isn't it a pity Isn't it a crime My journey's ended Everything is splendid Meeting you today Has given me a wonderful idea Here I stay It's a funny thing I look at you I get a thrill I never knew Isn't it a pity we never met before Here we are at last It's like a dream The two of us, a perfect team Isn't it a pity, we never met before Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted And with the neighbors Leak at silly labors What joys untasted My nights were sour Hour after hour Let's forget the past, let's both agree That I'm for you and you're for me And it's such a pity, we never, never, met before Can you imagine all the lonely years we've wasted Fishing for salmon Losing at backgammon What joys untasted You watching Dinah Me somewhere in China Happiest of men, I'll always be If only you will say to me It's an awful pity we never, never met before That we never, never, met before
