Words and music by Brian May

|
You say you love me
|
And I hardly know your name
|
And if I say I love you in the candlelight
|
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
|
|
It's late - but 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
|
|
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 I know I can't be true
|
Oh you made me love you
|
Don't tell me that we're through
|
|
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
|
|
Too late much too late
|
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?
|
|
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 late it's late
|
It's all too late
|
