(m. gaye/a. gaye/e. stover)

You were my life, my hopes and dreams
For you to understand what this means
I shall explain
I stood all the jealousy all the bitching too
Yes I forgot all once in bed with you
Ooh darling how could we end up like this
Ooh baby let me reminisce

And when we ooh we stopped the hands of time
You set my soul on fire my one desire was to love you
And think of you with pride and to keep you satisfied
Ooh baby, ooh baby
We could not bear the man's astray

Leave you I never meant to
Now you see how much you hurt me
But if you ever need me I'll be by your side
Though the many happy times we had
Can never really outweigh the bad

I never loved nobody like I loved you baby
Now it's time for us to say farewell
Farewell my darling
Maybe we'll meet down the line

It's too late for you and me
It's too late for you and i
Much too late for you to cry
It's to late for you and me
Much to late for you and i
It's too late for you and me
Much too late

We tried God knows we tried
Didn't we didn't we didn't we try
God knows we tried
It's too late for you and me
Much too late for you to cry

We stopped the hands of time
Ooh ooh
Its too late for you and i
