It Was Too Late Lyrics - Jean Shepard

It was too late for us a long long time ago 

I can't explain why we don't part I just don't know 

To be together only happy now and then 

It's much too late for us that's how it's always been 

Wasting years together surely is a sin 

To know no peace of mind that's how it's always been 

Why did they wait so long to let us know 

It was too late for us a long long time ago 

[ steel - piano ] 

Can we continue on this way just being friends 

We're growing more apart each day where will it end 

Why don't you leave me all you have to do is go 

It was too late for us a long long time ago 

It was too late for us a long long time ago
