Loretta Lynn
"The Darkest Day"

Darlin' when you told me you were leavin'
I thought that you were only foolin' me
But here I am to face old blue tomorrow
With a broken heart that's filled with misery.

It seems that my world is through an end
Just dreamin' of things that might have been
Oh why, I don't get all sunshine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life.

(Oh, that's Grady Martin)
--- Instrumental ---

Oh, how I wish that old scene is through
It's always darkest just before dawn
Then I'll know soon I'm gonna see the sunshine
I just can't take this darkness, on and on.

It seems that my world is through an end
Just dreamin' of things that might have been
Oh why, I don't get all sunshine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life...
