Stacey Kent - 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!

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 neighbours i at silly labours
What joys un tasted you reading Heine
I, 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 years we've wasted
Fishing for salmon, losing at backgammon
What joys un tasted!
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
