After You've Gone
[Verse]
- Now won't you listen honey while I say
- How could you tell me that you're going away
- Don't say that we must part
- Don't break your baby's heart
- You know I loved you for these many years
- Loved you night and day
- Oh honey baby can't you see my tears
- Listen while I say
[Chorus]
- 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 bestest 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
- Oh! Babe, think what you're doing
- You know my love for you will drive me to ruin,
- After you've gone
- After you've gone away, away.
[Verse]
- Don't you remember how you used to say
- You'd always love me in the same old way
- And now it's very strange
- That you should ever change
- Perhaps some other sweetie's won your heart
- Tempted you away
- But let me warn you tho' we're miles apart
- You'll regret some day
