My First Night Without You
From the Album: A Night to Remember
BI'm G#mdriving home from work
Knowing you're not tD#mhere F#7  
I used to hurry hBome G#m  
Now I don't even cD#mare
The sun is in my eEyes
So I can't see
But when F#7it sets down behind the
Mountain it's gonna bEe
F#7/4 B  
My first night without you
F#7/4 E  
My first night without you
F#7/4 G#m   F#7  
My first night without you
Oh... withEout you
I sit here like a fBool G#m  
Remembering everytD#mhing
The way we used to Btalk G#m  
The songs that we used to D#msing
I've got to try and lEeave
The past behind
But my mF#7emory's so good
I think that I'm losing my mEind
F#7/4 B  
My first night without you
F#7/4 B  
My first night without you
F#7/4 G#m   F#7  
And I wonder what I'll do
Oh... wiEthout you F#7  
Solo
D#mWill I be able to slEeep
Will I lie in my bEed and F#mweep
What if I forBget
And reach for yEou
Will I dream about yBou
F#7/4
My first night... my first night
My first night witBhout you
F#7/4 B  
My first night without you
F#7/4 G#m   F#7  
And I wonder what I'll do, oh...
F#7/4 E  
My first night without you
F#7/4 E  
My first night without you
And I wonder how I'll get through
Oh... without you

The story behind the song

This ballad captures the poignant experience of returning home to an empty space after a breakup, truly feeling the absence of a partner for the very first time. It paints a picture of walking through the door after a long day, only to be met with the quiet reality of separation. Written by Cyndi Lauper along with Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg, who also penned "True Colors," the song delves into that specific, raw moment of realizing a relationship is over. It's a fan favorite from Lauper's 1989 album A Night To Remember. Playing this song means channeling that quiet, reflective sadness of a new beginning, alone.
