[Verse 1] 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 There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light [Chorus] But it's too late, too late, too late Too late for love Too late, too late, too late Too late [Verse 2] London boys are gazing, 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 [Chorus] Standing by the trapdoor, aware of me and you Are the actor and the clown, they're waiting for their cue And there's a lady over there, she's acting pretty cool But when it comes to playing life, she always plays the fool [Chorus] [Bridge] Is it all too late? Much too late? Can't you see it's all too late? Yeah, it's too late [Chorus][x2]
