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 Yes, 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 Cause it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone They say that I 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 you're gone Yes, 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 Cause it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone It keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
