lyrics

When my cup dries up
and my eyes are shut
I won't be too sad
I've had my chance to Love

I've had my chance to love
Now I can die
Certainly not happily
I should be satisfied:

I've had my chance to Love.

I had you to myself.
I had years to get it right.
I had my chance to Love...

No more kisses good-night.
