MY CHANCE FOR HAPPINESS
(Jan Crutchfield)


Barbara Fairchild - 1971





These arms of mine will have no one to cling to
These lips of mine will have no one to kiss
And now my life will be one long day of sorrow
I've just destroyed my chance for happiness

He needed me, how many times he told me
Just thought that he'd keep hangin' on, I guess
I took my time, now my time runs out tomorrow
I've just destroyed my chance for happiness

My chance for happiness was right here in my hands
But now the chance is gone, he's made some other plans

This heart of mine deserves the hurt it's goin' through
I should have known I had the very best
So let my life just be one long day of sorrow
I've just destroyed my chance for happiness
I've just destroyed my chance for happiness
