In my troubled sleep my hands reach out to touch you But you're no longer there to greet my hungry hands Then I wake up and I cry out in the darkness And wonder how much more of this my heart can stand A man can stand so much hurting I've stood a lot that's for certain But without your love I'm bound to lose my mind I've cried so much I hurt all over And breakin forty's gettin closer There's a limit and I've almost reached mine Once I had my pride and called myself a strong man But my strength and pride walked out the door with you Now this awful aching hurt keeps tearing at me It's killing me to think of you with someone new
