Lyrics Isn't It a Pity - Barry Manilow
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
Ieak
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
