lyrics

I met those dark eyes on the street
I bowed my head but I could not speak
For there was another by her side
I thought someday she’d be my bride
Too late, too late

CHO: I saw those dark eyes fade away
Beneath that old ellum tree
In heaven I know that I can say
A dark eyed angel waits for me
Too late, too late

Although you’re gone I can’t forget
The happy hours when first we met
It seems so very long ago
When you said I love you so
Too late, too late

When twilight falls I feel the same
Although I know that I’m to blame
Last night I prayed that you would wait
Up there beside the golden gate
Too late, too late
