It Keeps Right On A-hurtin' Lyrics - Singles - Fabares Shelley

-Words and Music 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'd lay your head 

Now holds my lonely tears instead 

And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 

CHORUS 

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 passin' 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're gone 

CHORUS
