The Darkest Day

Loretta Lynn · Honky Tonk Girl: The Loretta Lynn Collection [1994]

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...
