Now won't you listen dearie while I say,
how can you tell me that you're goin' away?
Don't say that we must part, don't break my aching heart
You know I've loved you truly many years,
I loved you 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 crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal that you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time, when you'll regret it
Some day, when you grow lonely
You heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
Oh After the years, we've been together
The joy and tears and all kinds of weather
Someday, blue and downhearted
You'll long to be with me right back where you started
After I'm gone, after I'm gone away
