I cry myself to sleep each night
wishing I could hold you tight
life seems so empty since you went a way.
The pillow where you lay your head
now holds my empty dreams 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 lone 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.
#2.
They say a man ain't supposed to cry
but when I see you passin' by
my heart breaks down and cries a million tears.
The pillow where you lay your head
now holds my empty dreams 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 lone 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.
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone.
