A Minute too late for love

Intro

I stood on the corner...

And watched love walk on by...

Verse 1

You gave me a sign, so tender and clear,

A look meant to tell me you wanted me near.

I froze in my tracks, not knowing what to say,

And turned like a fool while you drifted away.

Chorus

Oh, I was a minute too late, my dear,

A minute too late for love.

You opened the door, but I stood in the dark,

And missed out on heaven above.

Solo

Interlude

"Honey... you know, I keep thinking about that night.

You gave me that look... that sweet, unspoken invitation.

And what did I do?

I just stood there, holding back when I should've stepped up.

By the time I realized what I had lost... you were already gone.

Yeah... I was just a minute too late."

Chorus

Oh, I was a minute too late, my dear,

A minute too late for love.

You opened the door, but I stood in the dark,

And missed out on heaven above.

Outro

A minute too late...

Oh, so far above...!
