Loretta Lynn The Darkest Day Lyrics

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 to an end
Just dreamin' of things that might have been
Oh, why don't that old sun shine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life

(Oh, that's Grady Martin)

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

It seems that my world is to an end
Just dreamin' of things that might have been
Oh, why don't that old sun shine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life...
