TOO LATE
(Billy Mize)
Dick Curless & Kay Adams - 1966
We must face the world around us
It's not our fault that heaven found us
Too late to be anything but wrong
We're both married to another
And fashion holds us to each other
Too late to be anything but wrong
We've both tried to look inside
Our hearts and find a way to hide
The love that's been denied us for so long
If it's wrong or right or heartless
We'll meet again tonight in darkness
Too late to be anything but wrong
(Instrumental Break)
Why do we rate a twist of fate
To bring us love so strong too late
And torture us to have to wait so long
If it's wrong and we both know it
We're too weak to overthrow it
Too late to be anything but wrong
We live in sin and we're above it
But nothing more can be made of it
Too late to be anything but wrong
