Isn't It A Pity

Isn't It A Pity - Mel Tormé/Cleo Laine

Why did I wander

Hereand there and yonder

Wasting precious time

With no reason no rhyme

Isn't it a pity

Isn't it a crime

My journey is ended

Everything is splendid;

Meeting you today

Has given me a wonderful idea

Baby Here's where I'll gonna stay

It's a funny thing;

I look at you

I get a thrill I never knew

Isn't it a pity that we never met before

Where you we are at last

It's like a dream

The two of us a perfect team

Isn't it a pity that we never met before

Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted

You with the neighbours

Me with silly labours

What joys untasted

You readin Heine

Me somewhere in China

Happy inside vioce

I'm should be

If only you would say to me

It's awful pity we never never met before

Imagined all the lonely years 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 me for you and you're for me

And it's awful pity we never never never never

Met before pity
