It’s Too Late (Music by J. Cooper, D. Wylie, H. Gregg, K. Mosiuk, lyrics by D. Wylie)
Comes a time when you have to face it
Don’t tell me ‘bout rocks or hard places
Communication is all that’s needed
When there’s a rub it won’t just rub out
Ay, there’s the rub, you’ve gotta keep showing up
Life’s too short and I am too damn old
My good will cannot be bought or sold
I see your effort, now please hear me
Don’t say that you weren’t told
‘Cause it’s too late, it’s too late
To do the right thing, the right thing now
Yeah it’s too late, it’s too late
To do the right thing, the right thing now
I know how these things are
And anyway, here we are
So though it’s too late now, you better do the right thing now
Not trying to scare you, intimidate you
I draw my lines where I’ve got to, I don’t hesitate to
Not trying to knock you off your game, and this is all your game
I’m merely standing on a lifetime of lessons learned
I’ve no interest in putting you to shame
But life’s too short and I am too damn old
My good will, it has the weight of gold
I see your effort to please me, but the effort leaves me cold
‘Cause it’s too late, it’s too late
To do the right thing, the right thing now
Yeah it’s too late, it’s too late
To do the right thing, the right thing now
I know how these things are
And anyway, here we are
So though it’s too late now, you better do the right thing
‘Cause it’s too late, it’s too late
To do the right thing, the right thing now
Yeah it’s too late, it’s too late
To do the right thing, the right thing now
I don’t know how it got this far
But anyway, here we are
So though it’s too late now, you better do the right thing now
