Too Late for Tonight

I’ve been sittin' all night
Listenin' to my records
Makin' up my mind
I’d call you up
But I’m never on time
And it’s too late for tonight
If you weren’t so far away
I’d just ring you up:
Got a lot to say
But the city sky
Soon will see it’s first light
And it’s too late for tonight
You brought me home one night and left me
Standing on your stairs
Turned around to lock your door
But I wasn’t even there
That was a long time ago
I’m thinkin', laughing:
An' I miss you so
An' I’m all right
But I can’t close my eyes
An' it’s too late for tonight
The hours are long and quiet
An' it’s drifting through my mind
Some sweet, sultry night
You’ll be by my side
I can see the sky so clearly now
The silver an' fiery moon
Oh, the record player humming so dearly
In the other room
Was it BJ, 1972?
He’s wishin', he’s hopin'
And he’s feelin' blue
An' I’m floating
On a sweet lullaby
An' it’s too late for tonight
Oh, goodnight, my dear, goodnight
