Now listen honey while I say
How you gonna tell me that you're gone away?
Don't say that we must part
Don't break my achin' heart
You know I love you all these many years
Love you both night and day
How can you leave me
Can't you see my tears?
Listen while I say
After you've gone
And left me cryin'
After you've gone
There's no denyin'
You'll feel blue
You'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal
You ever had
There'll come a time
Now don't forget it
There'll come a time
When you'll regret it
Someday
When you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine
And you'll want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away
Oh baby, after I'm gone
After we break up
After I'm gone, yes
You're gonna wake up
You will find that you were so blind
To let somebody come and change your feeble mind
After the years
We've been together
The joys and tears
And all kind of weather
Some day, blue and downhearted
You'll long to be with me
Right back where you started
After you're gone
After you're gone away
