Smokey Robinson
Better Late Than Never
[Verse 1]
Standing on the seashore, looking to the other side
Throwing in some pebbles, watching a few ripples ride
Something deep inside of me tells me that I just can't hide
The fact that I've been lonely ever since you went and said goodbye
[Chorus]
Wonder if you'll meet me here
Wonder if you're gonna meet me ever
But I keep on praying, and I keep on saying
If you'll come a little late, it's better late than never
[Bridge]
You said I could meet you at our old rendezvous at 9 tonight
Now it's half past 10 and you haven't come yet
I'm just hoping that you didn't forget
Come on (Come on), come on (Come on, come on, come on)
Come on (Come on), come on and meet me here
I'll be waiting for you
[Verse 2]
Standing on the seashore where we used to meet and kiss
But those were the good times, those are the times I miss
Never thought I'd see the time I'd be standing here like this
But I'm gonna wait for you, I don't care what time it is
[Chorus]
Wonder if you'll meet me here
Wonder if you're gonna meet me ever
But I keep on praying and I keep on saying
If you'll come a little late, it's better late than never (Better late than never)
[Outro]
Better late than never (Better late than never)
Ooh, better late than never (Better late than never)
Better late than never (Better late than never)
