Cher - This God-Forsaken Day

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.
Everybodys 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.
