It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'

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 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 your 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
