Lyrics
One Boy Too Late
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tell her you need her
Tell her you love her
Don't let another say
The words you should have said.
Or you'll be one boy
To late to hold her tight
One boy too late to hold her every night
And kiss her in the moonlight.
One boy too late for happiness
One boy who'll never hear
The answer yes
And never know a sweet caress.
Tell her you need her
Tell her you love her
Don't let another say
The words you should have said.
Or you'll be one boy too late to lonely two
One boy who didn't whisper I love you
So tell her now, tell her now
Tell her now before I do.
--- Instrumental ---
So tell her now, tell her now
Tell her now before I do...
