It Keeps Right on a Hurtin'

(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...
