A
You say you love me
And I hardly know your name
And if I say I love you in the candlelight
There's no one but myself to blame
But there's something inside
That's turning my mind away
A
Oh how I could love you
If I could let you stay
It's late - but I'm bleeding deep inside
It's late - is it just my sickly pride?
A
Too late - even now the feeling seems to steal away
So late - though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say
It's late it's late it's late
But not too late
A
The way you love me
A
Is the sweetest love around
But after all this time, the more I'm trying
A
The more I seem to let you down
A
Now you tell me you're leaving
And I just can't believe it's true
A
Oh you know that I can love you
A
Though I know I can't be true
A
Oh you made me love you
Don't tell me that we're through
It's late - but it's driving me so mad
It's late - yes I know but don't try to tell me that it's
Too late - save our love you can't turn out the lights
So late - I've been wrong but I'll learn to be right
It's late it's late it's late
But not too late
I've been so long
You've been so long
We've been so long tryin' to work it out
I ain't got long
You ain't got long
We gotta know what this life is all about
You're staring at me
A
With suspicion in your eye
A
You say what game are you playing?
What's this that you're saying?
A
I know that I can't reply
A
If I take you tonight
Is it making my life a lie?
A
Oh you make me wonder
Did I live my life right?
It's late - but it's time to set me free
It's late - yes I know but there's no way it has to be
Too late - so let the fire take our bodies this night
So late - so let the waters 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
how I could love you
If I could let you stay
