TOO LATE Feat. Hoda

..last night, when having dinner with some friends, I briefly met a lady. Well, I didn't actually meet her, I still don't know who she is, don't know her name, didn't talk to her but we spent most of the night grinning at each other like two teenagers in love. I can be awfully shy sometimes, so... I clearly missed my chance to get to know her. Today I got rid of my frustrations writing a new song, 'Too Late' I called it. 

[UPDATE] a few days after I met that lady I describe above, I coincidentally saw her walking down the street when I was driving by. I immediately parked the car and asked her out for a drink. She accepted, we exchanged phone-number and did go out for a drink. She was very nice but eh... quite frankly, we didn't have very much to talk about. Maybe we'll meet again, maybe we won't, I don't know. But... MUCH more importantly, I also met a truly brilliant young girl named Hoda, she's still a student, runs a fantastic podcast, (more about that later) and she's blessed with what I call "fantastic radio-vocals", so I asked her to sing in backing-vocals for 'Too Late'. Hoda has no singing-experience whatsoever, but did a lovely job, I think. I mean, I'm sure!

[UPDATE] (Sept.27 2023) ...I've finished the song and sent it on it's way into the Universe! Distribution planned on October 7, 'TOO LATE' launch-party at TIZZIANO El Campello Spain on that Saturday too! Of course you're invited!!!

'TOO LATE' Feat. Hoda

I smiled at you
you smiled at me
your light lit up my night

you took my breath away
you beauty 
star burning bright

I smiled at you
you smiled at me
your eyes
a world untouched

a universe within
not yet unravelled
oooh so lush

is it too late?
is it too late
for you and I?

I smiled at you
you smiled at me
you got me hypnotized

I missed my chance
slipped through my hands
you kept me paralyzed

is it too late
for you and I?

is it too late
for you and I?

is it too late?
is it too late?
is it too late
for you and I?

you smiled at me
I smiled at you
your beauty touched my heart

questions spinning
through my mind
are we a world apart?

you smiled at me
I smiled at you
did I misunderstand?

my feelings, oh so strong
make doubts arise
like shifting sand

is it too late?
is it too late
for you and I?

is it too late?
is it too late?
is it too late
for you and I?

is it too late?
is it too late?
is it too late
for you and I?

you smiled at me
I smiled at you
deep within my soul

uncertainty, 
love unanswered 
taking it's toll

I smiled at you
you smiled at me
your light lit up my night

you took my breath away,
you beauty 
star burning bright

is it too late

for you and I?

is it too late?
