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 neighbors, you at silly labors
What joys untasted
I reading Heine, you somewhere in China

Happiest of girls I'm sure to be
If only you will say to me
It's an awful pity we never, never met before

If only you will say to me
It's an awful pity we never, never met before
