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've gone.
It keeps right on a-hurtin, every minute of the day.
Every hour you're away, I feel so lone-ly.
Oh, I can't help it, I don't think I can go on.
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone.
#2.
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 it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone.
It keeps right on a-hurtin, every minute of the day.
Every hour you're away, I feel so lone-ly.
Oh, I can't help it, I don't think I can go on.
And, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone.
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've
gone.
