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 waiting as she turns out the light

But it's too late, too late, too late

Too late for love

Yes it's too late, too late, too late

Too late for love

London boys are gazing as the 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

Yes it's too late, too late, it's too late

Too late for love

Standing 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 playing life she always plays the fool

But it's too late, too late, it's too late

Too late for love

It's too late, it's too late, too late

Too late for love

Is it all too late

Much too late

Can't you see it's all too late

It's too late

But it's too late, too late, it's too late

Too late for love

It's too late, it's too late, too late

Too late for love
