Somewhere in the distance i hear the bells ring 
darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing 
and the lady and'cross the street she shuts out the night 
thereand's a cast of thousands waiting
as she turns out the light 
But itand's too late, too late, too late 
too late for love 
yes itand'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 itand's too late, too late, too late 
too late for love 
yes itand's too late, too late, itand's too late 
too late for love 
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 curtain starts to fall 
But itand's too late, too late, too late 
too late for love 
yes itand's too late, too late, itand's too late 
too late for love 
Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you 
are the actor and the clown theyand're waiting for their cue 
and thereand's a lady over there sheand's acting pretty cool 
but when it comes to playing life
she always plays the fool 
and thereand's a lady over there sheand's acting pretty cool 
but when it comes to playing life
she always plays the fool 
But itand's too late, too late, itand's too late 
too late for love 
itand's too late, itand's too late, too late 
too late for love 
Is it all too late 
much too late 
canand't you see itand's all too late 
itand's too late 
But itand's too late, too late, itand's too late 
too late for love 
itand's too late, itand's too late, too late 
too late for love
