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
Too late, too late, too late
Too late
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
Too late, too late, too late
Too late
Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you
Are the actor and the clown they're waiting for their cue
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, 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
Too late for love
Too late, too late, too late
Too late for love
Too late, too late, too late for love
