Titre: It's Late Album: News Of The World Auteur: Brian May Scene 1 You say you love me And I hardly know your name And if I say I love you in the candle light There's no one but myself to blame But there's something inside That's turning my mind away Oh how I could love you If I could let you stay Chorus: It's late - and I'm bleeding deep inside It's late - is it just my sickly pride Too late - even now the feeling seems to slip away So late - though I'm crying I can't help but hear you say It's late It's late It's late But not too late Scene 2 The way you love me Is the sweetest love around But after all this time The more I'm trying The more I seem to let you down Now you tell me you're leaving And I just can't believe it's true Oh you know that I can love you Though you know I can't be true Oh you made me love you Don't tell me that we're through Chorus It's late - but it's driving me so mad It's late - yes I know but don't try to tell me that it's Too late - save our love you can't turn out the lights So late - I've been wrong but I'll learn to be right It's late it's late it's late But not too late - I've been so long - You've been so long - We've been so long tryin' to work it out - I ain't got long - You ain't got long - We gotta know what this life is all about Scene 3 You're staring at me With suspicion in your eye You say what game are you playing? What's this that you're saying? I know that I can't reply If I take you tonight Is it making my life a lie? Oh you make me wonder Did I live my life alright? Chorus It's late - but it's time to set me free It's late - yes I know but there's no way it has to be Too late - so let the fire take our bodies this night So late - so let the waters take our guilt in the tide It's late it's late it's late it's late It's late it's late It's all too late
