JUDY GARLAND: 'TOO LATE NOW' FROM 'ROYAL WEDDING'.

Judy Garland was signed to play the lead role as Ellen, opposite Fred Astaire, in 'Royal Wedding', but due to personal issues was fired from the film. This was the defining situation that led to the end of her career at MGM. I have often wondered what she was thinking about during this performance. I suppose its better left to imagination ... I am pleased she sang it, & we can share in her moment.
Performed on 'The Judy Garland Show,' taped June 24, 1963.

Words by Alan Jay Lerner, music by Burton Lane, 1951.
Nominated for Best Song Academy Award, 1951.
Too late now to forget your smile,
The way we cling when we've danced a while,
Too late now to forget and go on with someone new.
Too late now to forget your voice,
The way one word makes my heart rejoice,
Too late now to imagine myself away from you.
All the dreams we've dreamed together,
I relive when we're apart
All the tender words together
Live on in my heart.
How can I ever close the door
And be the same as I was before,
Darling, no, no I can't anymore - it's too late now.
