I cry myself to sleep each night   Wishing I could hold you tight   Life seems so empty since you went away   And the pillow where you lay your head   Now holds my empty dreams 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 ain't supposed to cry   But when I see you passing by   My heart breaks down and cries a million tears   The pillow where you lay your head   Now holds my empty dreams 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   Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
