We had our chance to make those vows
Fell in love there out somehow at least you did
I kept the flame burning bright but to save my foolish pride I kept it hid
It's too late I can hear the church bells ringing
Lord it's too late listen to the choir singing
Then the tears are welling up and my heart's about to break
When the ring goes on your finger it's too late

Hold his hand and say I do and he'll say the same to you and you won't hesitate
So there you are here I am a fool alone wondering why did I wait
It's too late I can hear...
[ guitar - steel ]
Well if I knew then what I know now I'd not have been so doggone proud
It's too late I can hear...
It's too late I can hear...
