Dec 8th 1931

Too late,
I thought that love would always wait;
I learned that love won't hesitate,
Too late, too late!

Love mate,
I heard my heart cry for a mate;
I told my heart it had to wait
Until too late!

I laughed at every lover
And paid the penalty;
I used to laugh at love,
Now love laughs at me!

Too late,
A fool will always play with fate,
That's why I reach love's golden gate
Too late, too late!
