isn't it a pity?

Lyrics

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.
