I cry myself to sleep each night
  Wishing I could hold you tight
  Life seems so empty since you went away
  And the pillow where you lay your head
  Now holds my empty dreams 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 ain't supposed to cry
  But when I see you passing by
  My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
  The pillow where you lay your head
  Now holds my empty dreams 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
  Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
