Isn't it A Pity perfectly describes the way I feel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viYrVAGdKdk

Isn't it a pity
Now, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity

Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity

Isn't it a pity
Isn't is a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity

Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity
Forgetting to give back
Now, isn't it a pity

3. George and Ira Gershwin 1933
Edited on Sat Jul-31-10 11:49 AM by grasswire
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?

(Bridge 1)
Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted
You with the neighbors, I at silly labors -
What joys untasted,
You reading Heine, me somewhere in China.

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.

(Bridge 2)
Imagine all the lonely year's we've wasted,
Fishing for salmon, losing at backgammon.
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
And it's such a pity we never, never met before.
