It's Too Late
It's far too late for you to contemplate.
Walking back through my gate.
That bridge is burned.
When your back you turned.
On me and the caring you spurned.
I have no need for what you seek.
Your words are pathetic and weak.
I know the ways in which you think.
You'll use me for your own amusement.
Then throw me out like a drunken lout.
When you feel you've dried me out.
You just need me for attention.
So you'll feel no bitter retention.
Like you're the only one who's taken rejection.
You take my love.
Then strike me hard with a shove.
So be gone now.
I've finally had enough.
I see the truth.
It's too late to be so smooth.
So good riddance and adieu.
Our freindship now is truly through.

Shove
Woke up confused in a place I didnt know
And heard the hissing of an overused stem
The air around me is corrupt and on the take
Heard someone shout I think hes breathing again
It seems at first that no-one ever succeeds
You shove and shove until youre ready for more
And if the truth forgets to visit again
Dont take offense, hes never been here before
Shove! shove! shove! shove!
Shove in my head
Shove! shove! shove! shove!
Shoves you instead
Shove! shove! shove!
Puts you flat on your back
Shove! shove! shove!
Till the quiet attacks
Feels just like someone sank their teeth in my head
They tried to suck away my everlasting soul
I talked to God and all his literary friends
Said I was late so I just shoved it in again
Shove it again!

Too Late
Written by kim wilde & steve byrd
Hard to get a view of things
Though a broken window
Hard to understand the reasons
Why love comes and goes
Just when you turn a corner
And think that youll find
Some peace of mind
Confusion will strike you blind
Its too late to turn back now
Its too late to turn it all around
Its too late, no words to say
I know its gonna be another lonely day
I cant find a reason I should stay
Hard to understand the reasons
Why love comes and goes
Just when you turn a corner
And think that youll find
Some peace of mind
Confusion will strike you blind
Ts too late to turn back now
Its too late to turn it all around
Its too late, no words to say
I know its gonna be another lonely day
I cant find a reason I should stay
(I know, I know)
I know its gonna be another lonely day
(I know, I know)
I know its gonna be another lonely day
Confusion will strike you blind
Ts too late to turn back now
Its too late to turn it all around
Its too late, no words to say
Cos I know its gonna be another lonely day
But I cant find a reason I should stay

Too Late
It was like yesterday when we was walking on the park.
But in the end she left me in the dark.
At night where on sunny days I never feel so bright.
I guess I was too late to get you back.
I was so dumb I wish our sweet love could last like stride gum.
I was too late to fix the mistake that I break.
I was too late like a baby duck trying to keep up with his family on a lake.
I was too late to get the last cake.
I made a promise that I thought I wouldn't break.
I try my best to try not to make you cry for my sake.
All this pain I couldn't take and I want you back because you was treasure.
And I didn't mean to let our love fall off like a feather.
I want to be able to make you feel better like good weather.
And keep you safe like shelter.
It kills me to not get you back because every girl I see is not like you.
To me you was something special now that I realize.
You kept me up from my lows to my highs.
I didn't really see it, I was so blind.
And now im losing time.
As I'm sinking in sand I just wish I had a chance to hold your hand again.
It been a week and I haven't speak a word
Your voice is so beautiful as a singing bird.
I love the way you had my phone buzzing like a hummingbird.
I wish I gave you something better that you deserved.
But I was too late.

Never Too Late
1a: Why can't you see
That I'm still mad about you
Even though I've found out about you
I'll always stay forever true
1b: And in my heart I will forgive you
I've got so much love to give you
CHORUS: It's never too late
We've still got time
It's never too late
You can still be mine
It's never too late
To change your mind
2: Why can't you try
And be a man about it
And if you stop and think about it
You just can't keep walking out on me
And even if it takes forever
Your love's better late than never
CHORUS
Never too late
Never too late
It's never too late
To change your mind
BRIDGE: Though I try
I can never put you from my mind
You just creep right back inside
And there's no place I can hide
1b: CHORUS: (repeat and fade)

Take Me Back Again
(coverdale/vandenberg)
Now I smoke a lot of cigarettes,
And Ive been drinking too much wine
Youve been patient and understanding,
I guess I went to far this time
I cut you with my drunken words,
So much sharper than a knife,
But, you turned the tables on me, baby,
Just by walking out of my life
Too late to say Im sorry,
It wont happen anymore
But, you dont believe a word I say
cause youve heard it all before
But, all the same,
Wont you take me back again
Dont say its over,
After all that weve been through
Take some time to think about it, baby,
While I sing my song to you
Your suitcase by the back door,
Packed with broken dreams,
When night time comes to call on me,
Ill know what loneliness means
But, all the same,
Wont you take me back again
Take me back again, take me back again
All Im asking is forgiveness,
Wont you take me back again
Take me back again, take me back again
All Im asking is forgiveness,
Wont you take me back again
But, baby, all the same
Wont you take me back again
Take me back again, take me back again
But, baby, all the same
Wont you take me back again
Take me back again, take me back again
Wont you take me back again
No, no, no, no, take me back again
Dont walk away from me baby
I beggin you please, uh
I beggin you please, uh
Take me back again
Take me back again

I Feel Good
What a beautiful morning
Just to wake up beside you
Is something Ive missed for so long
Im so glad that you came back home
Baby let me tell you
How my days slipped away
And how I was afraid of the night
But now Im alright
I feel good
Feeling like a lover should
What else can I say
Wont forget the day
You came back to stay
I feel so good (I feel good, I feel good, I feel good)
Finally we understood
You and me were meant
True lovers from the start
We can never part
Our love is grown stronger
More than any temptation
In this world could possibly be
Theres no doubt cause its plain to see
I feel good
Feeling like a lover should
What else can I say
Wont forget the day
You came back to stay
I feel so good (I feel good, I feel good, I feel good)
Finally we understood
You and me were meant
True lovers from the start
We can never part
I feel good
Feeling like a lover should
What else can I say
Wont forget the day
You came back to stay
I feel so good (I feel good, I feel good, I feel good)
Finally we understood
You and me...

The Bridge I Burned
Im walking down times square in the electric daylight
The sailors on shore leave stand out in their perfect white.
Im up here with my spying glass at the window of the world
For better or for worse - its a perverse universe, my love.
Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned
Now I know, somehow I dont feel so alone.
[the sermon]
You mutter underneath your breath - it echoes round the world
Everybody comes from nowhere.
There is hope, it loops up in the air
Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned
Now I know, somehow I dont feel so alone.
You said I used to be handsome if you screwed up your eyes
Professors and vampires drank up all the tears I cried.
Now theres a bird at my window, he feeds upon the pain
And sometimes he sings to me - a mocking bird in the twilight of infamy.
Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned
Now I know, somehow I dont feel so alone.
Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned
Now I know, theyve burned one sinner and the others are set to follow
Now I know.
Now I know.
Now I know.

All Of A Sudden
(andy partridge)
What can i say?
Why do we starve a thing thats near extinction?
From day to day,
These weeds of fear,
Are choking our conviction,
Life's like a jig-saw,
You get the straight bits,
But there's something missing in the middle.
All of a sudden,
We find the cupboard's bare.
All of a sudden,
We find heaven's not there.
All of a sudden,
We find the sun's gone cold.
All of a sudden
We find we're more than old.
All of a sudden,
We find that we've lost love,
So please don't push or shove because,
It's too late,
It's too late,
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate
What can we do?
Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless.
It's up to you start holding hands,
And watch the balance redress,
Life's like a firework,
You're only lit once,
And you must stand and radiate correctly.
All of a sudden,
We find the cupboard's bare.
All of a sudden,
We find heaven's not there.
All of a sudden,
We find the sun's gone cold.
All of a sudden
We find we're more than old.
All of a sudden,
We find that we've lost love,
So please don't push or shove because,
It's too late,
It's too late,
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate
Love's not a product you can hoard or pack a suitcase with,
It's more a way you have to give.
All of a sudden,
We find the cupboard's bare.
All of a sudden,
We find heaven's not there.
All of a sudden,
We find the sun's gone cold.
All of a sudden
We find we're more than old.
All of a sudden,
We find that we've lost love,
So please don't push or shove because,
It's too late,
It's too late,
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate.

Too Late
(lead vocal - lenny zakatek)
When you were standing in the rain I gave you shelter
When I was knocking on your door you gave me none
Well I dont make that kind of deal with anybody
And I wont be that kind of fool for anyone
How do you feel when the tables have been turned?
What will you do now the bridges have been burned?
Cause its
Too late now the magics lost
Too late now the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain unspoken
When I need you by my side you stand above me
And when I look into yuor eyes you turn away
Well if thats the best there is then I wont buy it
Well if thats the only game then I wont play
How many danger signs did you ignore?
How many times have you heard it all before?
Cause its
Too late now the magics lost
Too late now the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain unspoken

Come Back To My Love
(bob gaudio/jerry corbetta/john bettis)
I hear you crying
Through a long distance line
Now youre finally saying
It was good to be mine
But you couldnt throw it
cause you didnt know it
And now
You want to come back
Come back to my love
You want to come back
Come back to my love
Bring the guitar in
When you know its all youve got
You finally need me
Always did from the start
But you couldnt show it
cause you didnt know it
And now
You want to come back
Come back to my love
You want to come back
Come back to my love
So I say to you
I cant live without it
But I know its true
And I cant have love in my life
Without you
So girl
Why dont you come back
Come back to my love
Why dont you come back
Come back to my love
Oh girl
Why dont you come back
Come back to my love
You got to come back
Come back to my love
You got to come back
Come back to my love

That Guy
That guy
In order to
Attract your
Attention,
Will throw
Caring words
At you,
To show
As if he
Really
Cares
For you
But he will
Tease and
Bully you,
If you don't
Give him
The required
Attention,
Proving to you
That he's so full of
Pretension,
As he cannot
Bear your
Rejection,
So in order to
Cope with his
Dejection,
He subjects
You to abject
Humiliation
And, what do you do?
Of course,
You walk away
Not to be
Subjugated
By his
Selfish
Decision
Or else
He'll keep
Making you
Feel demented
With his
Slanderous
Words…
And vilifying
Actions…
For, human
Relations
Are all about
Survival -
And taking
Precautions
That people
Don't walk
All over you…
And make you
The victim of
Their targeted
Precision in
Slaying you
With their
Dastardly
Derision.

A Father's Lament
I was never one for my kids to look up to
That's a stone cold fact that I'll always regret
I was never the best dad, for them to hold on to
I was there and I provided, I cared…and yet
I didn't give enough love, I wasn't tender enough
I was too much a disciplinarian, too quick to berate
I wanted to teach them to be righteous and tough
I realize my mistake, now that it's much… much too late
Too late to do the proper things…,
to say the words I wished I'd said
Too late to cherish them over, and above all other things
Too late to tuck them snugly in bed
To hold them tightly, to kiss them goodnight
Too late to see the happiness on their faces
Too late for me to set things right…
Too late to tie their tiny shoelaces
Too late to savor them clinging tightly to me
In fright at the monsters on 'Lost In Space'
Too late to wonder at their amazing resilience
As I looked down upon their angelic sleeping faces
They are blessed with selective memories that…
Remember only the good and not the bad
Thank God for the knowing that they remember me kindly
But no matter their memories…I'll always feel sad
For I look at old photos of them
And my old heart slowly breaks
At all the things I should have done back then
And of all my past mistakes
Now it's too late to tell them Of Fairies and moonbeams…
and sparkling stardust and of Angel wings
I was never one for my kids to look up to…
I can only grow old and… never forget
That I never did enough of these fatherly things
And I'll forever be one to look back and regret

Baby you are my soul mate
Baby you are my soul mate
But now it seems it's too late
O those old days were so great
Then secretly we could date
But now we can't change our fate
Coz now it seems it's too late
Sometimes we had tete-a-tete
I stared at you when you ate
You were like my heaven's gate
But now it seems it's too late
Your love has turned into hate
Coz you are now so upset
Your thought now makes my eyes wet
Coz now it seems it's too late
Everything is not said yet
Read my poems in internet
You will forgive I can bet
Though now it seems it's too late
Forget me not don't forget
Otherwise you will regret
Don't treat me like a lost pet
Though now it seems it's too late

One Late Night
Ive been to the edge and back again
And I know all there is to know its a dead end
Late at night Ill come walking by
Just to see what went wrong
Late at night youll come crawling back
Just to steal a piece of me
I know what the world is made of Ive seen it
You dont have all the answers keep dreaming
Late night Ill come walking by
Just to see what went wrong
Late at night youll come crawling back
Just to steal a piece of me
Lay down now
Late at night Ill come walking by

Another Heaven
He lived his life in isolation, a man without a name
Saddled with a reputation, from cheyonne he came
He moved down south when the money ran out
Turned to a life of crime
Things werent all that different then
Theyd kill you for a dime
Never showed no mercy, had a heart of stone
His hands were dirty, stained to the bone, he said
Chorus:
Turn back? its too late!
All I can do is pray theres another heaven
Turn back? its too late!
Sinners like me need another heaven
Turn back? its too late!
Ive run out of time. . .
He lived at least a dozen lifetimes, luck was on his side
The only friend he ever had,
Was his trusty forty-five
His final words to my gran-daddy were
Son you must be brave
All thats left of what he was
Is in this texas grave
He could smell the danger
He knew the end was near
Thru the smoke and whiskey, one thing was clear
Chorus:
Turn back? its too late!
All I can do is pray theres another heaven
Turn back? its too late!
Sinners like me need another heaven
Turn back? its too late!
All I can do is pray theres another heaven
Turn back? its too late!
Ive run out of time. . .
Look me in the eyes, I wanna see it comin!
Never showed no mercy, had a heart of stone
His hands were dirty. stained to the bone
Chorus:
Turn back? its too late!
All I can do is pray theres another heaven
Turn back? its too late!
Sinners like me need another heaven
Turn back? its too late!
All I can do is pray theres another heaven
Turn back? its too late!
Sinners like me need another heaven, yeah, yeah!
Turn back? its too late!
Ive run out of time. . .
Look me in the eyes, I wanna see it comin!

Its Too Late To Change The Time
[intro]
Too late
Too late
Too late

In this automatic age
We shop through the yellow page
Gone is the corner store
There is a supermarket there for you
People give way to change
But feelings remain the same
[chorus]
And its too late, too late to change the time
Well its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
[verse 2]
Its a new day, a new age
A photograph just taken, is ready one minute later
Cars are bigger and better
But the manufacturers sastified never
In a world full of crime
I cant let you think thats right

And its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
No, no
[bridge 1]
So you wanna be a star (so you wanna be a star)
You are who you think you are (ah think you are)
You dont have to go further
Than my loving arms
[chorus half]
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
[bridge 2]
Are you sure you wanna go to new york city (new york city)
Where girls make it big if theyre pretty (if they pretty)
Let say you get that penthouse view
But whos gonna love you the way I do (just the way I do)

Its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time, no
Too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Good Things!
It's never too late to do good things...
When those good things come,
To be done!
It should never be a decision made,
Whether to show gratitute...
Whenever an attitude,
Is moody when it comes.
Do it...
No one loses!
It's never too late to show someone there,
You think of them just because you care.
Thinking they will know what it is you feel...
Does little for the one,
Who believes no one is aware...
With feelings that are real.
'How could they,
When they aren't there shown or spoken? '
And it's always a good sign...
To release and let things go!
When doubt is removed,
And your mind has approved
The doing is true and it can be proposed.
Hesitation for you will seldom come to show!
Knowing for you that good is in the doing,
And pursuing it from head to toe...
Has you moving.,
Reaping as you sow.
It's never too late to do good things...
When those good things come,
To be done!
Always contemplate good things,
And good things you did...
Makes those good things done grow!
