Haggard, Merle - If You've Got Time (To Say Goodbye) Lyrics






If you've got time to say goodbye
Have mercy on a guy that's gonna miss you
I know you're in a hurry
But consider all the hurt I'm going through

Let me brace my heart so I can face the part
That I've been dreading for so long

If you've got time to say goodbye
Then I promise I won't cry till you're gone

I know a man should never show his feelings
And I should pretend I'm glad you're leaving

If you've got time to say goodbye
Have mercy on a guy that's gonna miss you
I know you're in a hurry
But consider all the hurt I'm going through

Let me brace my heart so I can face the part
That I've been dreading for so long

If you've got time to say goodbye
Then I promise I won't cry till you're gone

    The one and only, Merle Haggard! Touches my heart with his beautiful voice and phrasing! Will miss him always!

    His voice is particularly wonderful on this.

    So true ! I consider this album ( HAG - 1971 ) to be one of his very best masterpiece albums. He wrote nearly all the songs. His voice was nearing peak during this time. See if you can get the whole LP. You won't be disappointed. Sidewalks of Chicago is another favorite song of mine on it as well. Let me know and I can send the whole mp3 's off this album to you.
