Far Too Late

Reaching out to take your hand
Grasping only air
The tear drops fall like rain
The vision vanishes into the storm

I want so much to tell you
Things I need to say
But the chance has disappeared
And now it's far too late

Time has passed so swiftly
The years gone by so fast
I used to dream about you and I
My heart is torn in two

I had to choose between
The turmoil in my heart
I loved you but
Instead gave you away

We no longer see each other
No longer do we speak
I kept it hidden
And you never knew

I'll never have the chance to tell you
Things I needed to say
For the chance has disappeared
And now it's far too late.
