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
