Born Too Late

Music and lyrics by Rhoda Daniel, © 1991

You were born too late, Im sorry good-bye.
Ive never been good at livin a lie.
Youre too good to be hurt and I cant carry on,
Though Ive loved every minute out dancin till dawn.

Refrain:
Good-bye... Good-bye...
I'm sorry, don't cry. good-bye.

You were born too late, youre too young for my taste.
I think I said maybe with a bit too much haste.
If I stay in your life, youll experience pain,
For sett-ling down with you ain't in my game
(refrain)

You were born too late, not time yet to build
A spiritual foundation solidly filled.
I need more in a mate than you yet have to give
Theres so much more to life than what we physically live
(refrain)

You were born too late, but what a fun time we had.
Just remember the good, don't be angry or sad.
The energy and style that you put in a dance
Will bring many others, just give some a chance
(refrain)

Inspiration

Born Too Late was written for a wonderful square dance partner whom I considered too young to get serious with and who was getting sweet on me.

Acknowldgements

I want to thank both Robb Tripp and Walt Harrah for the wonderful job they both did to make this album a reality. I am grateful to you both; you are both gifted producers. And a special thank you to all the great musicians and arrangers who were a part of this project.

The original production under Robb Tripp in TN was titled: Country Christian and produced in the Nashville area with a live band of superb musicians. I could tell them what I was hearing for each song and they not only gave me what I asked, but way beyond as well.

Three songs were produced in CA with Walt Harrah. Besides being a producer, he is also a talented singer. I was delighted when he agreed to be the singer on both Fire Insurance (about accepting Jesus), and The Wolves Are Out (about the importance of judging by fruits). He was also my duet partner in 45 & Holding (about always putting God off). He's also particularly gifted at harmony. He could lay down 4 harmony tracks in succession without even one sour or missed note.
