It keeps right on a hurtin'

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've 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've 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've 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've gone

Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone
