Somewhere in the distance, I hear the bells ring Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing And the lady 'cross the street, she shuts out the night There's a cast of thousands waitin' as she turns out the light But it's too late, too late, too late Too late for love Too late, too late, too late Too late London boys are gazin', girls go hand in hand With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand And the queen of the dream, stands before them all She stretches out her hand as the curtains start to fall But it's too late, too late, too late Too late for love Too late, too late, it's too late Too late Standin' by the trapdoor, aware of me and you Are the actor and the clown, they're waiting for their cue And there's a lady over there, she's acting pretty cool But when it comes to playin' life, she always plays the fool But it's too late, too late, it's too late Too late for love Too late, it's too late, too late Too late Is it all too late? Much too late? Can't you see it's all too late? Yeah, it's too late Too late, too late, too late Too late for love Too late, too late, too late Too late Too late, too late, too late Too late for love Too late, too late, too late
