This God-Forsaken Day - Cher

Read your note this mornin'

'bye-bye girl', that’s all it said

Glad I found it first

Before the kids got out of bed

Baked a tray of muffins

Hung some wet-wash out to dry

By the time the kids got up

I could look them in the eye

You’ve gone away, you’ve gone away

How will I get though the day?

This god-forsaken day

Drank some bitter coffee

Read your note ten times or more

When I’d washed the dishes twice

I got down and scrubbed the floor

Empty chair at supper

Everybody’s actin' strange

Food just gettin' cold

Kids real quiet for a change

You’ve gone away, you’ve gone away

How will I get through the day?

This god-forsaken day

Rain was fallin' hard

As I walked slowly up the stairs

Pushed my tears back down

As I stood listenin'

To their prayers

There’s your empty pillow

Your side’s flat right to the wall

Now’s the time for private cryin'

Now it hurts me

Most of all

You’ve gone away

I turn off the light

How will I get through the night?

This god-forsaken night

This long and lonesome, god-forsaken night
