DAY YOU LEFT ME, THE
(Cindy Walker)


Tommy Duncan - 1957
Eddy Arnold - 1958
Kay Adams - 1967



On the books this day will be known to all officially
As the day that you left me, the day you left me
But if my heart could testify, it'd say this day is just a lie
'Cause the day has long gone by, the day you left me

Though you're here, not really here, I know, how well I know
You packed your dreams and you left my heart such a long, long time ago
Though you've just walked out the door and you won't be back no more
You left me long before the day you left me

(Instrumental Break)

Though you're here, oh, not really here I know how well I know
You packed your dreams and you left my heart such a long, long time ago
Though you've just walked out the door and you won't be back no more
You left me long before the day you left me
You left me long before the day you left me
