Intro: #1. 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 lay 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, every minute of the day. Every hour you're away, I feel so lone-ly. Oh, I can't help it, I don't think I can go on. Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone. INTERLUDE: #2. 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, every minute of the day. Every hour you're away, I feel so lone-ly. Oh, I can't help it, I don't think I can go on. And, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone. OUTRO: Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone.
