We had our chance to make those vows,

Fell in love then 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 wellin' 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 the church bells ringing

Lord, it's too late, listen to the choir singing

Then the tears are wellin' up, and my heart's about to break

When the ring goes on your finger it's too late



Well if I knew then, what I know now,

I'd not have been so doggone proud



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 wellin' up, and my heart's about to break

When the ring goes on your finger it's too late



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 wellin' up, and my heart's about to break

When the ring goes on your finger it's too late
