It Keeps Right on a Hurtin'

(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...)
