[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Oh, how I wish that old saying is true
It's always darkest just before dawn
Then I'd know soon I'm gonna see the sunshine
I just can't take this darkness on and on

[Chorus]
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
