SOMEHOW (IT’S TOO LATE) © 2002 Lyrics and Music by: “Candida Rose” Baptista Verse 1 Somehow, you knew I needed you Somehow, I felt you wanted me Somehow, this beautiful thing Has come in to be And it’s too late to turn back now Verse 2 Somehow, we discovered our link And somehow, you hear what I think And somehow, in presence of dreams Wide awake my life seems And it’s too late to turn back now Chorus Your eyes have captured my soul Your words have opened my heart And I want you to know That I’m lost in your flow And it’s too late to turn back now (Repeat) Bridge Pure emotion, true devotion Parts of me, I’ll share them with you Hearts on fire, breathe desire There’s no end to what we can do Cause it’s too late to turn back now
