I Die Ten Thousand Times a Day by Merle Haggard Lyrics

[Verse]
I come home and I sit down by the door
I just sit and dream my lonely life away
I just can't stand the thought that I won't see you anymore
I guess I die ten thousand times a day

Without soul, a life comes to its end
I ceased to live the night you went away
If you walk through that door, then I'll start to live again
I guess I die ten thousand times a day

I pick up each thing you used to touch
I call to mind each tender word you'd say
If I've hurt you, it's just because I love you much too much
I guess I die ten thousand times a day
