(Johnny Tillotson)

(It keeps right on a hurtin' since you've 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 laid 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' ev'ry minute of the day
Ev'ry 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 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've gone.

It keeps right on a hurtin' ev'ry minute of the day
Ev'ry 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...
