It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin’ Lyrics By 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 ahurtin’
    since you’re gone

    it keeps right on ahurtin 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 ahurtin’ 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 ahurtin’ since your gone

    it keeps right on ahurtin 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 ahurtin’ since you’re gone
