Somewhere in the distance, I hear the bells ring
Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing
And the lady across the street, she shuts out the night
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, girls go hand in hand
With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand
The queen of the dream stands before them all
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, it's too late
Too late, too late, oh

Okay, yeah

Standing by the trapdoor, aware of me and you
The actor and the clown are 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, it's too late
Too late, too late

Is it all too late?
It's much too late
Can't you see that it's all too late?

Yeah, it's too late

Too late, too late
Too late, too late for love
Too late (right on, love), too late (oh, yeah)
Too late, it's too late, but it's all we got

Break out
Thank you very much
