This is something I'm doing just for fun -- to live out a lifelong dream since the age of around 7 or so when I realized that I could carry a tune (without the use of a bucket!) and it didn't sound bad. Much love and thanks go to those in my SoundClick family (and now beyond!) who helped to encourage/challenge me to spread my wings to try this out and continue to take it to the next level. Without your kind support I'd still be just a listener (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Lyrics

IT'S TOO LATE
==========

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here
There can be no denying
One of us is changing
Or maybe we've just stopped trying

And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool

And it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died
and I can't hide it
And I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together
Don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you

But it's too late baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It's too late baby
It's too late now darlin'
It's too late

GREAT vocal Mary!  This song brings back so many memories.  Your voice captures all of the verve of the original hit song and beyond.  And musically, this production is outstanding from start to end.  Thanks for the song pleasure and for the download.

Hey Mary! I love this song... it almost has that latin Santana vibe.. It is quite a talent to harmonise with your own voice. An amazing vocal performance!..

You did a great job, you know I love this song - and I did return to the original (first). I really don't think there's much in it at all, you have done some great tracks since 2010, but you have to have the voice in the first place and, whatever you have developed since, you already had that in 2010. You are maybe smoother now - but there is a place for 'rawness' and I don't think I'm the only fan of that. I fancy I may be outnumbered on this (have not looked above yet), but that's how I feel.

A really nice, professional, amazing and enjoyable cover of the Hit "It´s too late" by Carol King. I think Mary Clare is taking more and more confindence with her voice, this tune is an evidence for her possibilities: I like this one, I am not disappointed at all ( I am a fan of Carol King! ) this is a well done cover. Congratulation Mary Clare! :)
