Gerald Hayes - Too Late, Too Late Lyrics

Should've said um sorry when I had the chance
Should've said forgive me while I still could be heard
I wish I'd made that call and got together
Cause we never know the date
When we will leave this place
And then oh then it will be too late too late

Something told me to say I was wrong
Go ahead and clear the air
I didn't listen I didn't want to hear it
Now sadly I sing this song
That if you wait too long it just may be too late too late

Now at your wake I stand and cry
Moaning over you why you had to die
My heart aches with pain for acting in vain
Shoulda said um sorry I made a mistake
Shoulda said forgive me and got it straight
But now oh now it's too late too late

Don't let this happen to you
And live a life of regret
Even when you're right and they are wrong
Make the move to keep things smooth
Cause we never know the date
When we'll leave this place
And then oh then it will be too late too late

Now at your wake I stand and cry
Moaning over you why you had to die
My heart aches with pain for acting in vain
Shoulda said um sorry
I made a mistake shoulda said forgive me
And got it straight but now oh now it's too late

But life is like a vapor from a steam pot
Here today and tomorrow not
Can't you see don't be like me
Acting in vain for nothing to gain
Make that call get together
Hug each other tight while the time is right
Cause we never know the date
That we'll leave this place
Then it will be too late too late

Oh oh don't indulge a useless grudge
Let it go before there's no more do it now do it now
Don't ache with pain at the wake
Don't live with regret say forgive me while they can hear you
Cause we never oh yea we never know the date
When we will leave this place and then
Oh then it will be too late, too late
