For all the times I tried for this And every chance at you I missed I've been known to go my way, but I confess It made me miss you more I drew my line across the sand And set my flag in no man's land But here I am the one man band With a song that's meant for two And there is a light, from a higher window Shining down on you tonight And the music floats on the breeze Bringing an easier time And all of our cards are on the table Tell me what you want to do Just don't tell me that it's too late For me to love you How perfect we were meant to be Our warm and silent symmetry It's times like these when all, all we need Is to be reminded And I have flown a thousand miles To empty rooms and crowded isles And we went from cathedral bells To show and tell and wish you wells And I, I still look at you and I am blinded I am blinded Because there is a light, from a higher window Shining down on us tonight And the music floats on the breeze From an easier time And all of our cards are on the table Tell me what you want to do Just don't tell me that it's too late Don't tell me that it's too late now Just don't tell me that it's too late For me to love you
