It's a quarter past midnight,
I'm drowning in the moonlight
The telephone rings and it all disappears
And I pick up the receiver and
though I'm a believer
My ears cannot accept
what I'm about to hear
It's you and you're telling me
I've got it all wrong
You're trying to explain that
you and I belong
Together and you know that I want to
I'm thinking to myself,
these girls come on blue
Baby you have faded so
far from my mind
There's not a reason in this world
to be kissing my behind
It's been a lifetime too
late to say you're sorry
A lifetime too late to say you're sorry
A lifetime too late to say you're
sorry to me
Well now you know I ain't the one who
handed down your sentence
Though I admit that I sub
scribe to repentance
Where there ain't no use in trying
At least that is with me
You might have tricked me once
But now it's plain to see
All your little moves
So clever and rehearsed
They don't mean a damn thing
Now that the bubble has burst
It's been a lifetime too late
To say you're sorry
A lifetime too late
To say you're sorry, a lifetime too late
To say you're sorry to me
I'm gonna hang up the phone
I can't stand to hear you cry
Oh, yeah
Well, you say you're so alone
But baby, don't you even try
They say that vindication
is as rare as it is sweet
This kind of justice makes the
circus so complete
And I want to tell you one thing before I go
You are the biggest loser that
this world will ever know
And I've made a recording
of this entire talk
Now I'm going back to bed,
and baby, you can take a walk
You just walk on
It's been a lifetime too
late to say you're sorry
A lifetime too late to
say you're sorry
A lifetime too late to say
you're sorry to me
Oh yeah
It's been a lifetime too late too late
It's been a lifetime too late too late
It's been a lifetime too late
to late
Now you can talk and
talk and talk and talk
about it talk about it it's a lifetime too late too
late it's too late yeah you can't talk but it's
too late you can't talk but it's too late
it's been a lifetime too late too late
It's been a lifetime of dreams
Too much to say
It's been a lifetime too
Hey, hey, you just got to
get yourself another timepiece
