Sarah Vaughan - Isn’t It a Pity lyrics
[Sarah Vaughan - 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
(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?
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
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
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?
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
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
