Only When It's Too Late

[Words from song "Only When It's Too Late".
Copyright-SOCAN]
"If only you had known...
This love was like a budding rose...
Needing your light to help it bloom...
Before the life force goes...
But it's an old...old...story...
This love that has to wait...
To be told in praises...
Only when it's too late..."
...................Quester.
