You say to me - why can't it be  Just like it was once before  Well you lead the way and I'll find the tree  You catch the leaves as they fall    Don't you know that it's not too late - the time's not past  Don't you know it's not too late  And even though I tell myself - all is lost  Somewhere there's a spark of hope  Somehow the world keeps turning  Promising a better day  Somewhere the spark is burning - away    If we were free - to do as we please  What would we change - you and I  To hold back the night - to do what is right  To live under bright blue blue sky    Don't you know that it's not too late - the time's not past  Don't you know it's not too late  And even though I tell myself - all is lost  But somewhere there's a spark of hope  Somehow the world keeps turning  Promising a better day  Somewhere the spark is burning - away    As we look to the horizon  Way out on the sea  We see the sun still rising  Just for you and me    When we were young - life was so strange  So complicated we would cry  But when we grow old  Will mystery hold us both in its spell as time goes by    REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
