Now won't you listen, honey, while I say How could you tell me that you're gone away? Don't say that we must part Don't break my aching heart You know I loved you truly many years I loved you night and day How could you tell to me, honey 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 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 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 you've gone After the break up After you've gone You are gonna wake up And you will find That you were blind To let somebody come and change your mind After the years that we've been together The joy and all the tears And all types of weather Someday, when you're down-hearted You'll long to be right back where we started After you've gone After you've gone away Oh, baby, 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
