It's Too Late to Keep from Losing You

(Robert Cameron)

You'll be leaving in the morning
Long before the dawning sweeps away the black of night
But the sun that warms the empty mornigh sky
Will never warm this empty heart of mine
Through these lonely arms I search my mind
And hope somehow I'll find someway to keep you near
But I know that with the dawning you'll be gone
'Cause it's too late to keep from losing you.

It's too late to keep from losing you
Tomorrow had to come someday I knew it would
And although our love was never meant
To last forever I confess I hope it could
All our bygones have gone by
And there's no time left now to try to make things up to you
But it really doesn't matter anymore
'Cause it's too late to keep from losing you.

I guess that I'll be leaving soon
To get away from those who offer sympathy
There's no use in staying here
Where any love that's left will only be in memory
So tomorrow I must plan to start
Forgetting like I've always known I'd have to do
And turning I look back on yesterday
'Cause it's too late to keep from losing you...
