SCENE 1:
You say you love me
And I hardly know your name
And if I say I love you in the candle light
There's no one but myself to blame
But there's something insideThat's turning my mind awayHow I could love youIf I could let you stay?It's late-
and I'm bleeding deep insideIt's late-
is it just my sickly pride?Too late-
even now the feeling seems to slip awaySo late-
though I'm crying I can't help but hear you sayIt's late, it's late, it's lateBut not too late
SCENE 2:
The way you love me
Is the sweetest love around
But after all this timeThe more I'm tryingThe more I seem to let you downNow you tell me you're leaving
And I just can't believe it's true
Oh, you know that I can love you
Though I know I can't be true
Oh, you made me love youDon't tell me that we're throughIt's late-
and it's driving me so madIt's late-but don't try to tell me that it'sToo late-save our love, you can't turn out the light
So late-
I've been wrong but I'll learn to be rightIt's late, it's late, it's late
But not too late
-I've been so long
-You've been son long
-We've been so long tryin' to work it out
-I ain't got long
-You ain't got long
-We've gotta know what this life's all about
SCENE 3:
You're staring at me
With suspicion in your eyes
You say: "What game are you playing?
Waht's this that you're saying?"
I know that I can't reply
If I take you tonight
Is it making my life a lie?Oh, you make me wonder
Did I live my life alright.
It's late-
but it's time to set me freeIt's late-but there's no way it has to be
Too late-so let the fire take our bodies this night
So late-let the water take our guilt in the tide
It's late, it's late, it's late, it's late
It's late, it's late, it's late
IT'S ALL TOO LATE.
