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
 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?
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
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 let  you down
Now  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  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
With  suspicion in your eye
 You say what game  are you playing?
 What'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 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

[E]Too [D]late - even [A]now the feeling [D]seems to steal [A]away
[E]So [D]late - though I'm [C#]crying I can't [B]help but hear you [E]say

It's l[A]ate it's late it's [D]late
But [E]not too l[A]ate

[D]The way you l[A]ove me

[D]Oh you made me l[A]ove you
[D]Don't tell me that we're [A]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
