Isn’t It a Pity Shirley Horn

It's a funny thing I look at you
I get a thrill I never knew
Isn't it a pity we never, 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 years we've wasted
I 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
Isn't it a pity we never, never met before

Imagine all the years we've wasted
Fishing for salmon, losing at backgammon
What joys untasted
I read in Heine, you somewhere in China

Happiest of girls I'm sure to be
If only you would say to me

Isn't a pity we never, never met before
It's an awful pity we never, never met before
