Too Much Too Little Too Late Lyrics

Too Much Too Little Too Late lyrics

Say goodnight, your song is through

Faint refrain we hardly knew

Comes crashin' against the drunken waters of this wake when I hesitate

Because all I can say is "too much, too little, too late"



Farewell, you fool

Spare me the punch line please, I learned it well at Sunday school



Way back when all you loved was the grease paint, not the collection plate

So much for the funny face

Because all I can say is "too much, too little, too late"



Remember when murder was only killing time

And an axe to grind (to grind, it was) was a bitter gulp of strychnine?



What happened to the musketeers of chesterfields?

Tobacco swords behind smoky shields



Say goodnight (goodnight)

Old song (so long)

You're through (set the needle back and hum a new tune)

Faint refrain (refrain)

Make room (so soon, so soon)

For new (until the hook can pull the bridge into view)



Spare me the vague, not-so-clever couplets

The ones I would have loved when I was you



'Cause now all I can say is "too much, too little ..."

And all I can feel, feels like the heaviest weight

'Cause all I can say is "too much, too little, too late"
