Please Opportunity

Please opportunity come my way
Make a promise that someone will say Darling i love you
Bring summer into this winter of mine
Make a promise that somewhere sometime I'll fall into love

Can't help thinking there might be a girl who's like me lonely
Just the same as myself she's been left on the shelf
And only waiting for life to begin

So please opportunity come my way
Let us meet so that someday she may fall in love with me

Now and again i venture to suggest
To a lady that maybe she'll be mine
But you can bet the lady with regret
Will politely but firmly decline

No matter what i do
No matter what i say
No matter how i work it out
No matter if i pray

So please opportunity come my way
Make a promise that someone will say Darling i love you
Bring summer into this winter of mine
Make a promise that somewhere sometime I'll fall into love

Can't help thinking there might be a girl who's like me lonely
Just the same as myself she's been left on the shelf
And only waiting for life to begin

So please opportunity come my way
Let us meet so that someday she may fall in love with me
