Isn't It A Pity (不是遗憾吗？) (LP版) - Mabel Mercer

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 is 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

I with the neighbours

You at silly labours

What joys untasted

I reading Heine

You somewhere in China

Happy your stop good

I'm sure to be if only you will say to me

It's a awful pity we never never met before

Imagine 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 I'm for you and you're for me

And it's such a pity we never never met before
