Lyrics Cher – This God–Forsaken Day
Text:
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’.
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.
