Lyrics
1. You’re the last one I’d expect to see
Fate arranged this meeting just for me
Once we met beneath the stars above
Here we are again, but where is love?
Chorus:
Isn’t it a shame
That you and I have drifted apart
When you’re still in my heart
Isn’t it a shame?
Isn’t it a shame
To think we took a perfect romance
Never gave it a chance
Isn’t it a shame?
There was a time, my dear
You couldn’t wait until we’d meet
Now when you see me, dear
You take the other side of the street
Isn’t it a shame
We can’t agree to take up again
Kiss and make up again
Isn’t it a shame?
2. I’m so happy to be here tonight
Your dear face is such a welcome sight
I’ve been hoping that we’d meet some day
I’ve been waiting for a chance to say
