Lyrics
You Were Born Too Late
Lyrics by Paul Dempsey/California
(v1)
I wish I had your temperament
You bend but never break
There is a calmness about you
Nothing about you is fake
(v2)
I’ve watch from a distance
Admiring your many skills
There’s a warmth about you
A sincerity no need for frills
(chorus)
Yes, you have an admirer
I’m sure I’m not alone
But I wish to stay nameless
I wish remain unknown
And I will not fault age
For the distance it creates
Coz I was born too early
And you were born too late
(v3)
I will remain in the background
I will not intercede
Sometimes what an old fool wants
Is not what they need
(bridge)
No longer in my prime
I was born at the wrong time
But some secrets I will never tell
I’ll just silently wish you well
(chorus)
Yes, you have an admirer
I’m sure I’m not alone
But I wish to stay nameless
I wish remain unknown
And I will not fault age
For the distance it creates
Coz I was born too early
And you were born too late
