Sarah Vaughan - Isn't It a Pity lyrics

(Intro verse:) 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 (Melody:) 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? (Bridge 1:) Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted You with the neighbors, I at silly labors - What joys untasted You reading Heine, me somewhere in China 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 (Bridge 2:) Imagine all the lonely year's we've wasted Fishing for salmon, losing at backgammon What joys untasted My nights were sour spent with Schopenhauer 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
