Stacey Kent - Isn't It a Pity lyrics

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 You, with the neighbours I at silly labours What joys un-tasted You reading Heine I, 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 Imagine all the lonely years we've 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
