Opportunity To Cry

(Willie Nelson)



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 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

They'll give me many opportunities to cry.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, 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...
