  • It's never too late
    For a wide-open slate
    A kiss from a stranger
    A thousand first dates
    You're an iron man, baby
    To hell with Heaven's gate
    There's not a moment too soon if it's never too, never too late

    Oh, it's never too late
    To go shoot out the moon
    We'll go dancing in graveyards
    You can keep your balloons
    Be a runaway bride
    Tradin' gypsies for grooms
    If it's never too late for a moment too soon

    Darling, don't bore me
    With the same old tired story
    What's new in the news?
    Who's hot? Where's the glory?
    Only dwell in the past
    For laughing at time
    Don't the years make jokes of all of us?
    Let the whole, let the whole century slide

    There's a last time for everything
    But we won't ever know
    It's a slow dance on a carousel
    A walk in the snow
    Don't let it cross your mind
    Keep a smile upon your lips
    And spin 'round the sun like the veil never slips

    Darling, don't bore me
    With the same old tired story
    What's new in the news?
    Who's hot? Where's the glory?
    Only dwell in the past
    For laughing at time
    Don't the years make jokes of all of us?
    Let the whole (let the whole) century slide (century slide)

    Oh, it's never too late
    For a wide-open slate
    A kiss from a stranger
    A thousand first dates
    You're an iron man, baby
    To hell with Heaven's gate
    It's not a moment too soon if it's never too, never too late (no, no)
    It's not a moment too soon if it's never too, never too late
    It's not a moment too soon if it's never too late Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
