Intro: Verse 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
