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 holds my lonely tears instead 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 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 [ steel ] They say a man should never cry when I see you passing by My heart breaks down and cries a million tears You broke my heart and set me free you forgot your memories And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone It keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day...
