Merle Haggard Opportunity To Cry Lyrics

Opportunity To Cry Lyrics

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



Well, I'd like to see you but I'm afraid
