The Darkest Day

(album: Here's Loretta Lynn - 1968)

Oh why don't that ole sun shine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life

Darling when you told me you were leaving
I thought that you were only fooling 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 to an end
Just dreaming of things that could have been
Oh why don't that ole sun shine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life

Oh how I wished that ole saying is true
It's always darkest just before dawn
And only God in heaven knows my heart is aching
And only you can keep this heart of mine from breaking

It seems that my world is to an end
Just dreaming of things that could have been
Oh why don't that ole sun shine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life
