Lyrics:
Oh, oh, oh
I remember when we were kids
We shared all the hurt and tears
No matter what the weather
(What the weather
What the weather)
We were always together
Then we grew up
And time went on
We became separated
When I went off to school
My sweet Toby waited
I went off to school
My sweet Toby waited
Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Sad day
Toby went away
Sad day
Toby went away
I came home from spring vacation
Expected to find my Toby waiting
Called her on her private phone
She didn't answer
Something was wrong
I ran all the way to her house
Rang her bell
Her mother answered and told me
To come and sit a spell
I sat down to try to be prepared
For what she'd say
And what she said
Brought tears to my eyes
I couldn't push away
Toby left on a cloudy, rainy day
She went to sing with the angels
Toby's gone away
It was a sad day
Oh, oh, Toby went away
It was a sad day
When Toby went away
It was a sad day
Oh, oh, when Toby went away
It was a sad day
When Toby went away
Was a sad day
When Toby went away
Was a sad, sad day
When Toby went away

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Like an uneasy feeling
[?] before a storm
I feel my tears will fall like the rain
Before the night is done
I can feel the presence of heartache
Walking around in my room
Cause I know the girl I love
[Chorus]
Here comes the hurt again
I can feel it, I can feel it like a strong wind
Here comes the hurt again
And I know Im gonna be right back
Where Ive always been
[Verse 2]
Like a misty cloud
She moves silently through the door
As if she was trying to make up her mind
Whethеr she should stay or go
And everytimе she gets this way
I know that it wont be long
Before she walks out of life
And leave me standing all alone
[Chorus]
Here comes the hurt again
I can feel it, I can feel it like a strong wind
Here comes the hurt again
And I know Im gonna be right back
Where Ive always been
Here comes the hurt again
I can feel it, I can feel it like a strong wind
Here comes the hurt again
And I know Im gonna be right back
Where Ive always been
Here comes
Here comes the hurt again
Here comes the hurt again
I can feel it, I can feel it like a strong wind
Here comes the hurt again
And I know Im gonna be right back
Where Ive always been
Here it comes girl
[Interlude]
I hate it to see this day come
Our last day together
Seem like the, the time just flies by
Are you crying?
Dont do it
You see
We should leave with a good feeling
We had a wonderful time and
I want it to remain like this
See
Crying makes it sad
I wanna remember you with your smiling face
[Chorus Outro]
Here comes the hurt again
I can feel it, I can feel it like a strong wind
Here comes the hurt again
And I know Im gonna be right back
