it's too late

by geoff edkins 

©1998
this is one of my newsest songs.  it was quite painful to write bearing in mind the topic.


verse 1
it’s too late to say goodbye
you left too soon to tell you why
there’s so much i had to tell you 
so much i had to say 
now it’s too late
it’s too late

verse 2
you’ve been my friend since long ago
yet there’s so much to let you know
like how good it was to know
so proud to call you friend
but it’s too late
it’s just too late

bridge instrumental

verse 3
we shared some laughs, we shed some tears
we both had dreams, we both had fears
now the dream’s turned to a nightmare
and my deepest fear come true
‘cause it’s too late
it’s just too late

bridge
why did i never say the things i had to say
why did i have to wait too long
why did i have to let the moment slip away
why did you have to leave too soon?
you had to go and leave too soon

verse 4
‘till it’s too late, the moment passed
i let the chance slip through my grasp
so my words remain unspoken
my feelings left unsaid
‘till it’s too late
why did i wait

to let you know how much i loved you
and how i miss you, my dear friend
now it’s too late
it’s just too late

it’s too late
it’s just too late.
