Isn't It A Pity? - Radio Edit

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 journeys ended
Everything is splendid
Seeing you today
Has given me a wonderful idea
Here I'll stay

It's a funny thing
I look at you
I get a thrill
I never knew
Isn't it a pity
We never, never met before

Here we are at last
It's like a dream
The two of us
A perfect team
And it's such a pity
We never met before

Imagine all the lonely years we wasted
Fishing for salmon
Losing at backgammon
What joys untasted
My nights were sour
Spent with Schopenhauer

Happiest of men
I'm sure to be
If only you
Will say to me
Isn't it a pity
We never, never met before

Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted
I with the neighbors
You at silly labors
What joys untasted
I reading Heine
You 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
And it's such a pity
We never, never met before
