Today I read the phone book and I memorized some lines
I walked the floor a hundred miles to places in my mind
Then I cried some tears and tried to count them one by one
Oh there's so many things you never get done

But I got some hurting done today
I got a lot of pain out of the way
I didn't get through missing you but one thing I can say
I got a lot of hurting done today

I couldn't find the time to do some things I said I'd do
Like burn your photograph that's signed darling I love you
I didn't find the time to smile the minutes slipped away
There's just so many hours in a blue day

But I got some hurting done today
I got a lot of pain out of the way
I didn't get through missing you but one thing I can say
I got a lot of hurting done today

I got a lot of hurting done today
