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