I cry myself to sleep each night

Wishing I could hold you tight

Life seems so empty since you went away

The pillow where you lay your head

Now holds my lonely tears instead

And it keeps right on a-hurtin'

Since you're gone



It keeps right on a-hurtin every minute of the day

Every hour you're away I feel so lonely

And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on

And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone



They say a man should never cry

But when I see you passing by

My heart breaks down and cries a million tears

You broke my heart and set me free

But you forgot your memory

And keeps right on a-hurtin' since your gone



It keeps right on a-hurtin every minute of the day

Every hour you're away I feel so lonely

And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on

And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
