Het is nooit te laat
Willeke Alberti Lyrics
'T is nooit te laat om een nieuw leven te maken
'T is nooit te laat voor een vriendelijk gebaar
'T is nooit te laat om de oude striijd te staken
En te geloven in een toekomst met elkaar
'T is nooit te laat om te leven van de liefde
'T is nooit te laat om je fouten in te zien
'T is nooit te laat voor een avond met je vrienden
En te vertrouwen op een heel oprecht misschien
Ieder die ik ken heeft zijn fouten nu en dan
In feite is er niemand die echt zonder kan
Want het leven moet je leren
Zoals ik en zoals hij
Klim je uit het diepste dal
Dan voel je je weer vrij
'T is nooit te laat om te kiezen voor het leven
'T is nooit te laat voor het allerhoogste doel
'T is nooit te laat om je beste ik te geven
'T is nooit te laat voor de weg van je gevoel
'T is nooit te laat voor een vriendelijk gebaar
'T is nooit te laat om de oude striijd te staken
En te geloven in een toekomst met elkaar
'T is nooit te laat om te leven van de liefde
'T is nooit te laat om je fouten in te zien
'T is nooit te laat voor een avond met je vrienden
En te vertrouwen op een heel oprecht misschien
In feite is er niemand die echt zonder kan
Want het leven moet je leren
Zoals ik en zoals hij
Klim je uit het diepste dal
Dan voel je je weer vrij
'T is nooit te laat om te kiezen voor het leven
'T is nooit te laat voor het allerhoogste doel
'T is nooit te laat om je beste ik te geven
'T is nooit te laat voor de weg van je gevoel
