If I had someone that's true It would thrill me through and through I'd be happy oh so happy night and day Seems each one has a perfect mate But for me I'm always late And it kills my soul to hear my sweetheart say Too late too late you're too late I have waited oh so long But you never did come home So just go on alone you're too late I have built my castles high Just to watch them fade and die Makes me wonder if I really have a mate But I'll keep looking o'er the hills For someone and I always will But maybe it's just my fate to be too late Too late too late you're too late When I search for heaven's door I hope these words won't ring no more And a voice say here's a gate but you're too late
