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 inside

That's turning my mind away

Oh how I could love you

If I could let you stay



Chorus

It's late - and I'm bleedig inside

It's late - is it just my sickly pride

Too late - even now the feeling seems to slick 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



Scene 2

The way you love me

Is the sweetest love around

But after all this time

The more I'm trying

The more I seem to seem I let you down

Now you're tell me you're leaving

And I just can't believe that it's true

Oh you know that I can love you

Though you know I can't be true

Oh you made me love you

Don't tell me that we're through



Chorus

It's late - and it's driving me so mad

It's late - but don't try to tell me that it's

Too late - save our love you can't turn out the light

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've gotta know what this life's all about



Scene 3

You're staring at me

With suspiction in your eye

You say what game are you playing?

What's this that you're saying?

I know that I can give no reply

If I take you tonight

Is it making my life a lie?

Oh you make me wonder

Did I live my life alright



Chorus

It's late - but it's time to set me free

It's late - 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 gilt 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
