Too late, too late to ask forgiveness
Too late, too late to say goodbye
She's gone, she's gone, she left this mornin'
And this is how she said goodbye

Upon my pillow was a letter
She said, I still don't want to go
But if you don't change your way of livin'
May God have mercy on your soul

You know I love you like no other
But you have played around too long
Goodbye, goodbye, I won't forget you
But I will be a long time gone

Too late, too late my heart keeps cryin'
I should have known you'd go away
Too late, I know my heart is dyin'
It always seems to end this way
