BETTER LATE THAN NEVER


BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

Words & Music by Jim Allio & Lamarr Standberry

Thought I'd missed the boat
Thought it sailed without me
Missed the punchline of the joke
While people laughed around me

Thought I was too late
Thought time's up was my fate
When much to my surprise
The door opened wide

Life welcomed me, welcomed me, heyeyeayeah
Life welcomed me, welcomed me, oh yeah yeah
Better, better late than never
Better, better late than never
Better, better late than never
Better, better late than never

Thought I held the joker in the deck
Used to a messy emotional wreck
Baby boomer, late bloomer
Happened later rather than sooner

Life welcomed me, welcomed me
Life welcomed me, welcomed me
Better, better late than never
Better, better late than never
Better, better late than never
Better, better late than never

Coffee from Peets and an iced maple scone
Watching Lesley Gore from the second row
Jogging 'round the Lake, it's a date
Then we'll stop by Bake...sale Bettys

Chillin' in the condo, hangin' out at Bimbo's
Best seats for The Roots
Feel so good, feel so loose
After hours with Slum and Dwele
Drivin' home from LA
Friends do a slow burn
Eiffel lunch at Jules Verne
Vegas, Paris, London
New York, Rome and then some

Better, better late than never...
