Lyrics

[verse]

It's late and the stars are hanging low

But I don't want this evening to go

Your hand in mine beneath the porch light glow

Time's running out, but I don't want you to go

[chorus]

It's late, it's late, but I don't care

Long as you're beside me, standing there

It's late, it's late, the clock ticks slow

One more minute before you go

[verse]

The radio hums a soft and gentle tune

Shadows dancing underneath the moon

I keep stalling, keep finding words to say

Anything to make this moment stay

[bridge]

Harmonies are humming soft and low

Every second feels too fast to go

Hold my hand a little longer, don't you see

It's late, but you mean the world to me

[chorus]

It's late, it's late, but I don't care

Long as you're beside me, standing there

It's late, it's late, the clock ticks slow

One more minute before you go

## Lyrics
[verse]
It's late and the stars are hanging low
But I don't want this evening to go
Your hand in mine beneath the porch light glow
Time's running out, but I don't want you to go

[chorus]
It's late, it's late, but I don't care
Long as you're beside me, standing there
It's late, it's late, the clock ticks slow
One more minute before you go

[verse]
The radio hums a soft and gentle tune
Shadows dancing underneath the moon
I keep stalling, keep finding words to say
Anything to make this moment stay

[bridge]
Harmonies are humming soft and low
Every second feels too fast to go
Hold my hand a little longer, don't you see
It's late, but you mean the world to me

[chorus]
It's late, it's late, but I don't care
Long as you're beside me, standing there
It's late, it's late, the clock ticks slow
One more minute before you go
