Miss Otis Lyrics

MISS OTIS

(S. Valencia)

Miss Otis regrets all the time she has spent alone

Hasn't taken her chances

She thought she'd have more time to burn

But Death just waits his turn

Death said, "It's time to go"

She said, "Give me some time to make a difference

You'll have me no doubt

I just want to see what my life is all about"

Death agreed

Miss Otis regrets she found a man who treated her kindly

Took her love and ran

She thought she'd have more time for love

But Death waits above

Death said, "Have you had enough time?"

She said, "No, I haven't found meaning

You'll have me no doubt

I just want to see what my life's all about"

How many times must one tell you

To live everyday like the last

Can't you see by looking at me

That nothing you hold ever last

Miss Otis regrets she lost a father she barely knew

Never spoke from her heart

She thought she'd have more time to tell

Death opened the gates of hell

Death said, "Have you had enough time?"

She said, "No, but I've almost found it

You'll have no doubt

I just want to see what my life's all about

How many times must one tell you

To live everyday like the last

Can't you see by looking at me

That nothing you hold ever last

Miss Otis regrets she's having a child she'll never see

Her chances weren't very good

She thought she'd have more time for tears

You'll see him in ninety years

"So have you had enough time?"

She said, "Yes, I now know my meaning

You have me no doubt

Now I know what this life's been all about"

Death agreed

Death agreed
