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
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
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
