Early in the mornin', before the crack of dawn
I'm sittin' here thinkin', oh why was I born?
I'm so broken hearted, I just can't go on
Since you've been gone (Since you've been gone)
Since you've been gone (Since you've been gone)

Now I was so happy with you by my side
You told me you loved me, but honey, you lied
You left me here cryin', 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)

The night seems like a million years
Waitin' from 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

I'm gonna go walkin', by the railroad track
I'm gonna let the choo-choo cross over my back
Life ain't worth livin', I just can't go on
Since you've been gone (Since you've been gone)
Since you've been gone (Since you've been gone)

All night long weepin' like a willow
Tossin' and turnin' on my tear stained pillow
Guess I'm gonna drown in my own tears
