Now listen honey, while I say.
How can you tell me that you're goin' away?
Don't say that we must part.
Please don't break my aching heart.
You know I've loved you true for many years,
I've loved you night and day.
How can you leave me? Can't you see my tears?
Listen while I say, my darling.
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've ever had.
There'll come a time, don't forget it
There'll come a time you're gonna 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.
After I'm gone, after we break up
After I'm gone you're gonna wake up.
You will find you were blind.
You let somebody come and change your mind.
After the years we've been together,
Through joy and tears, all kinds of weather.
Some day, blue and broken hearted,
You'll long to be with me back where you started.
After I'm gone, after I'm gone away
