Lyrics Opportunity To Cry - Willie Nelson, The Holmes Brothers

Opportunity To Cry

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
