It Keeps Right On‐a‐Hurtin’ Songtext
von Johnny Tillotson

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'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 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 keeps right on a-hurtin' since your 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
