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
