Lyrics Your Opening Night - Candi Staton

You had my prayers when you were in trouble
But you left me for another
That's why you're so unhappy
On your opening night

I know when you walk on that stage
You're gonna come out with a smile
Trying to hide all the hurt you feel inside
You'll look among the crowd
My face you'll be hoping to see
And that's when you'll start needing me oh

You had my arms when you needed them
You had my lips to kiss goodnight
You had my encouragement
When things weren't working right oh

You had my prayers when you were in trouble
But you left me for another
That's why you're so unhappy
On your opening night

When we were together baby
You weren't satisfied
I don't know what came over you
Or what you saw in her eyes
Now she's deserted you
And you want to give it another try
Bit I can't take that chance no
And I'll tell you why oh, baby

You had my arms when you needed them
You had my lips to kiss goodnight
You had my encouragement
When things weren't working right oh

You had my prayers when you were in trouble
But you left me for another
That's why you're so unhappy
On your opening night

How I wish I was with you
On your opening night baby
I'll be thinking of you
On your opening night.
