Peter Wolf (PW) and Merle Haggard (MH)

PW
Lovers, two by two on the avenue
Such a beautiful sight to see
But as they pass me by
It makes me wanna cry
'Cause I know it's too late for me

MH
It seems so long ago
When someone loved me so
And we we were both
Both so young and so free
I though I still could see
How good life used to be
And I know it's too late for me

PW
But days go by, the days go by
And there's a heartache I can't ease

Both
The nights come on
I'm all alone
MH
With just my precious memoris

PW
Now to me it seems
I've always lived in dreams
Of how how I wanted my, my life to be

MH
I wait 'til mornin' cold
There's nothin' left to hold
'Cause I know it's too late for me

PW
I wait 'til mornin' cold
There's nothin' left to hold
'Cause I know it's too late for me

Both
Oh yes, it's too late for me
