It Keeps Right on A'Hurting Lyrics

(Albert West)

I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so lonely since you've gone 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.

Yes, it keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour that 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.

--- Instrumental ---

They say a man should never cry
But when I see you pass me 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.

Yes, it keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour that 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.

No, I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone...
