Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now, listen honey, while I say
How can you fix your mouth to tell me your going away?
Don't say that we must part
Don't break my aching heart
[Verse 2]
You know you loved me true for many years
Loved you night and day, can't you see my tears?
How can you leave me?
Listen while I say
[Verse 3]
After you've gone
And left me cryin'
After you've gone
There's no denying
You'll feel blue
You'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
[Verse 4]
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 will want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away
[Verse 5]
Well, after you've gone
After we break up
After I'm gone
You'll wanna make up
You'll feel blue
You'll feel sad
You'll miss the bestest gal you've ever had
[Verse 6]
There'll come a time
Now don't forget it
Ooh, Lord, there'll come a time
When you'll regret it
Someday
When you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine
And you will want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away
My darlin'
After you've gone
After you've gone away
