So Late So Soon

We drank all the wine And we burned all the candles to the ground We danced to every dance they played 'Til silence seemed to be the only sound And I could've sworn not long ago The sun was only startin' to go down But when did all the stars Fade just like the moon? And how'd it get so late so soon? Twilight was just leavin' When the first kiss of the evening got us high And time stood at a standstill When the whole world just stopped for you and I And that last kiss you gave me, baby, just lit up the sky When did that early bird Start singin' his first tune? How'd it get so late so soon? Oh, I could've sworn not long ago The sun was only startin' to go down But when did all the stars Fade just like the moon? When did that early bird Start singin' his first tune? And how'd it get so late so soon? --- So Late So Soon - Alan Jackson
