Santiago Valencia-Aguilar - Miss Otis

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
