It all started early this morning 
As her mem'ry cruely eased my mind
I found a picture in my wallet 
I thought I threw away 
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.

Then while looking through the evening papers 
I ran across some torturing news
Mr. and Mrs, O'Grady now have a new baby 
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.

Is it there for me to love her 
And cry at the thought of her
When my only hope is a dream

An old friend dropped by late this evening 
Wouldn't you know he asked about her
But I guess he didn't know that I lost her long ago
Oh, it's been one heck of the day.

Oh, it's been one heck of a day...
