Too Late

I got something, I would like to tell you

Those of you who don't have no God on your side

If I were you today,I wouldn't wait too long

I bow down on my knees and say

For God I live and for God I'm willing to die

You may not feel like you need him now

But after while when it's all over

When someone calls and you wont be able to no longer answer

Please listen to me and take this advice

Don't let it be said too late

You may be doing fine now

May be wearing your fine clothes

Riding around in your fine automobile

But sooner or later

Death gone creep in your room, just like it has many of times

So whatever you do please listen to the song we sing

And the words that tell you this right here

Don't let it be said too late

Oh Lord

You see when death creep in your room

Reach under your eyelids and pull down the true curtain of death

When your heart stops beatin' and

Pumping the blood from one vein to the other

When your tongue has been glued to the roof of your mouth

When someone calls your name and you won't be able to no longer answer

Can't you see its gonna be too late, too late

Oh Lord

Too late, too late

I have a story I want to tell you right now

Of a young man who went away from home a long time ago

And there he left a mother and father

There went away and started having what he called a good time

Drinking and gambling all day and night long

But oh one day when he came in wearing his fine clothes

One day when he came in riding in his fine automobile

When he walked in he found a telegram sticking under his door said

Better if you wanna see her alive one more time

You better get in a hurry

He thought about the things he could've done he hadn't

He fell down on his knees and cry out, oh Lord

Don't let me be too late

And as he rode down that highway

In my mind I can hear him say Lord

I know I done wrong I should've called once in a while

But when he finally got home his little sister came out

Threw her arms around his neck

And told him these words right here

Too late, she's gone!

Too late, you too late

She said mama waited on you a long time

She told him mama waited!

Oh she waited with tears in her eyes for

Sometime but you waited a little too long

Every time he looked his sister in her eyes she said the same thin'

She say you just

Too late she's gone

Too late you too late

Oh he stood there, tears in his eyes

Sorrow all in his heart

Every time he look his sister in her eyes she say the same thing

She say you just

Too late, too late

Oh you waited too long, you waited too long

Too late too late

Don't let it be said too late
