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 hurtin' 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

The 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

A man can stand so much

Hurtin' 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 the breakin' forty's gettin' closer

There's a limit and I've almost reached mine

There's a limit and I've almost reached mine
