Early in the morning
Before the crack of dawn
Sittin' here thinking
Oh, why was I born
So broken-hearted
How can I go on
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)

I was so happy
With you by my side
You told me you loved me
But honey you lied
You left me here crying
How can I go on
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)

When nights seem like million years
Waitin' 'til the break of day appears
All night long weepin' like a willow
Tossin' and turnin' on my tear-stained pillow
Guess I'm gonna drown in my own tears.

Gonna go walkin'
By the railroad track
I'm gonna let the choo-choo
Cross over my back.
Life ain't worth livin'
How can I go on
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)

When nights seem like million years
Waitin' 'til the break of day appears
All night long weepin' like a willow
Tossin' and turnin' on my tear-stained pillow
Guess I'm gonna drown in my own tears.

Gonna go walkin'
By the railroad track
I'm gonna let the choo-choo
Cross over my back.
Life ain't worth livin'
How can I go on
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)
Since you've been gone (since you've been gone)
