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
It's an awful 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
I somewhere in China
Happiest of men
I'm sure to be
If only you
Would say to me
"It's an awful pity
We never, never, never, never met before"
Written by: George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
