Lyrics
It’s never too late
For rainbows to shine,
For whispering violins
And bubbles in the wine.

It’s never too late
To ring like a bell,
To steal away somewhere
And catch a carousel.

The summer is green,
The autumn is gold,
So no matter when love come
It’s heavenly to hold.

Let your heart stay young and strong,
Just one note can start a song,
So don’t worry ‘bout how long you’ve had to wait,
It’s never too late, it’s never too late.

It’s never too late
For rainbows to shine,
For whispering violins
And bubbles in the wine.

It’s never too late
To ring like a bell,
To steal away somewhere
And catch a carousel.

The summer is green,
The autumn is gold,
So no matter when love come
It’s heavenly to hold.

Let your heart stay young and strong,
Just one note can start a song,
So don’t worry ‘bout how long you’ve had to wait,
It’s never too late, it’s never too late.
