I cry myself to sleep each night,
Wishing I could hold you tight.
Life seems so empty since you went a..way.
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 lone..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.
REPEAT 2.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
