IT KEEPS RIGHT ON A' HURTIN'
Recorded by: Johnny Tillotson
Submitted by: Thomas Rivers;
(Verse 1)
I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP EACH NIGHT
WISHIN' 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 A HURTIN' SINCE YOU'RE GONE
(Chorus)
IT KEEPS RIGHT ON A HURTIN' EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY 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
(Verse 2)
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
