The World According To Lionel

Never Too Late

Of course I remember you from down in Diamond Bay
In the cafes where only the lonely play
You where always falling in and out of love
You said love was the purest drug

I remember you so young and so sure
Now the years have past and you're not like before
The courage has faded from your eyes
When I look at you I wonder if you realise

That it's never too late
No it's never too late for a heart that waits

You tell me you've been married twice but it's not for you
That there's too many other things that you want to do
Then you give me a smile and say, "but it would be nice"
To have someone to hold on those cold windy nights

So we meet once or twice now in the week
We talk about work but most times we don't speak
Sometimes we take a walk along the river side
One day I'm gonna say what's really on my mind

That it's never too late
No it's never too late for a heart that waits

You've told me of the men that you used to know
And how you've seen all the tricks and you're bored with the show
And you're heart ain't as strong as it used to be
I wanna take you in my arms and feel you falling with me

Cause it's never too late
No it's never too late for a heart that waits
