After You've Gone Away

Now won't you listen to me honey while i say,

How could you tell me that you're goin' away?

Don't say that we must part, don't break my aching heart

You know i've loved you truly many years, loved you night and day

How could you tell it to me? can't you see my tears?

Now listen while i say

After you've gone, and left me crying

After you've gone, there's no denying

You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad

You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it

There'll come a time, when you'll regret it

Some day, when you grow lonely

You heart will break like mine and you'll want me only

After you've gone, after you've gone away

After you've gone, after the break up

After you've gone, you're gonna wake up

You will find that you were blind

To let somebody come and change your mind

After the years, we've been together

Their joy and all tears, a-all kinds of weather

Someday, when you're downhearted

You'll long to be with me right back where you started

After you've gone, after you've gone away!
