Opportunity To Cry - Willie Nelson, The Holmes Brothers

Just watch the sunrise

On the other side of town

Once more I’ve waited

And once more you’ve let me down

This would be a perfect time for me to die

So I’d like to take this opportunity to cry

You gave your word

Now I return it to you

With this suggestion

As to what you can do

Just exchange the words «I love you» to «Goodbye»

While I take this opportunity to cry

I’d like to see you but I’m afraid

I don’t know wrong from right

And if I saw you

Would I kiss you

Or want to kill you on sight

It’s been a long night, so I think I’ll go home

And feed my nightmares

They’ve been waiting all night long

They’ll be the last ones to tell me goodbye

They’ll give me many opportunities to cry
