Ethel Waters - After All These Years lyrics

We've loved each other since we went to school But just the same, you're acting cool All these years, we've gambled in the game To lose you now, would be a shame Don't say you don't want me Don't say you're going away For if you do, it will haunt me And you'll be sorry some day We've been through all kinds of weather Yet we've been happy together You said you'd love me forever And I believed you were true, yes, I believed in you I know I'm going to miss you When some trouble appears I'll long to fondle and kiss you And drive away your fears Oh, don't you abuse me Please don't refuse me Say you don't want to lose me After all of these years Oh, don't abuse me Please don't refuse me Say you can't stand to lose me After all of these years
