Isn’t It a Pity?

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
Me with the neighbors
You at silly labors
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

Imagine all the years we've wasted
Fishing for salmon
Losing at backgammon
What joys untasted
Me at the Prado
You in Colorado

Happiest of girls I'm sure to be
If only you would say to me
That it's such a pity
We never met before
What an awful pity
We never, never met before
