I've been up and and down the highway
 
 And I've seen what a man can do
 
 To some little girl along the byway
 
 That's why I sing this song to you
 
  
  If you find your baby's gone
 
 And you don't know where or when
 
 You wonder, yes you wonder
 
 If you'll ever see him again
 
 Just remember, remember 
 
 These simple words I brought
  
 
 Soon it won't hurt half as much
 
 No it won't hurt half as much
 
 No it won't hurt half as much as you thought
  
 
 'Cause I been up and down the highway
 
 And I watch them as they pass by
 
 Broken hearts and I wish that they'd go my way
 
 I'd save them every little teardrop they cry
  
 
 Won't you listen?
 
 If you think you can't go on
 
 And life ain't got it for you no more
 
 You're waitin' every night
 
 For him to come walkin' through that door
  
 
 Just remember, remember
 
 These simple words that I brought
 
 Soon it won't hurt half as much
 
 No it won't hurt half as much
 
 No it won't hurt half as much as you thought
  
 
 Well, it won't hurt half as much
 
 No, it won't hurt half as much
 
 Lord, it won't hurt half as much as you though
 
 FADES
 
 And everytime you're sad, you cry
 
 You feel like you...
