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'd lay your head
Now holds my lonely tears instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

Chorus:
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 passin' 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're gone
