hi, i've just watched 'smoke jumpers' (**** lowry) and there's a dance scene to this song on the jukebox.......

'too late for a kind word/too late for a smile
you've gone away/ and won't be back for a while

too late for apologies/too late for tears
i should have loved you better/down through the years

(and) i wish i knew then/what i know now
i'd take you in my arms again/make you love me somehow

i wish i knew then how to keep you satisfied/
god knows i wish....' (scene ends)

really great scene. need to know who is singing please? many thanks, mark

director is dee..eye..cee..kay (short for richard) lowry
