  • Oh, oh, oh
    Ever since you've been leaving me
    I've been wanting to cry
    Now I know how it feels for you
    I've been wanting to die
    But it's much too late for goodbyes
    Yes, it's much too late for goodbyes

    Time has gone since I've been with you
    And we've been starting to die
    Now it seems you don't care for me
    And I don't understand why
    But it's much too late for goodbyes
    Yes, it's much too late for goodbyes

    Ever since you've been far away
    I've been wanting to fly
    Now I know what you meant to me
    I'm the one who should cry
    And it's much too late for goodbyes
    Yes, it's much too late for goodbyes

    Ever since you've been leaving me
    I've been wanting to cry
    Now I know how it feels for you
    I've been wanting to die
    And it's much too late for goodbyes
    Yes, it's much too late for goodbyes

    Oh, oh, oh
    Do-do-do-do-do, ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba
    Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Writer/s: Julian Lennon

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn January 5th 1985, Julian Lennon performed "Too Late for Goodbyes" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'...
    And fifteen days later on January 20th, 1985 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #52; and eight weeks later on March 10th, 1985 it would peaked at #5 for one week...
    The day it peaked at #5 on the Top 100 it reached #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart...
    On the same 'Bandstand' show he also performed "Valotte"; and at the time it was at #10 on the Top 10, then the very next day it would peak at #9, for one week...
