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

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
