It Keeps Right On A Hurting

It Keeps Right On a Hurtin - Johnny Tillotson

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

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

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
