Barry Manilow Isn't It A Pity
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
And with the neighbors
Leak at silly labors
What joys untasted
My nights were sour
Hour after hour
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
Can you imagine all the lonely years we've wasted
Fishing for salmon
Losing at backgammon
What joys untasted
You watching Dinah
Me somewhere in China
Happiest of men, I'll always be
If only you will say to me
It's an awful pity we never, never met before
That we never, never, met before
