(Johnny Tillotson)

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

I cry myself to sleep at 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
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 then 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
I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone.

Yes, it keeps right on a hurtin' since you're gone. (since you're gone...)
