George Gershwin - The Best Of

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 journeys 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 you wasted
fishing for salmon
losing at backgammon
what joys un-tasted
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
it's an awful pity
we never, never met before
