Too Late For Tonight
(Laura Cantrell/Francis Macdonald) Thrift Shop Songs, BMI adm by BUG

I’ve been sitting all night
Listening to my records making up my mind
To call you up but I’m never on time
And it’s too late for tonight

If you weren’t so far away
I’d just ring you up I’ve got a lot to say
But the city sky soon will see its first light
And it’s too late for tonight

You brought me home one night and left me
Standing on your stairs
Turned around to lock your door but I wasn’t even there

That was a long time ago
I’m thinking and laughing and I miss you so
And I’m alright, I just can’t close my eyes
And it’s too late for tonight

The hours are long and quiet and it’s drifting through my mind
That some sweet sultry night you’ll be by my side

I can see the sky so clearly now
The silver empire moon
The record player humming so dearly
In the other room

Was it BJ? 1972?
He’s wishing and hoping and he’s feeling blue
And I’m floating on a sweet lullabye
And it’s too late for tonight
Goodnight my dear goodnight
