I've been fair to you, you know all along
Why treat me this way, you're breakin' my heart
I'm lonesome for you we're so far apart
It's never too late to start over new
I've loved you so long, you know I've been true
Please come back to me, my heart is so blue
It's never too late to start over new
Now when you are tired, your new love gone down
I hope you'll return and I'll still be around
I love you so well, you know I will wait
But remember these words, it's never too late
It's never too late to start over new
I've loved you so long, you know I've been true
Please come back to me, my heart is so blue
It's never too late to start over new
It's Never Too Late to Start Over
