Opportunity To Cry Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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 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 for goodbye while I take this opportunity to cry 

I'd like to see you but I'm afraid that I don't know wrong from right 

And if I saw you would I kiss you or want to kill you out of 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 

And they'll give me many opportunities to cry 

They'll give me many opportunities to cry
