After You've Gone

Now listen, honey, while I say
How could you tell me that you gone away?
Don't you say that we must part
While you won't break my aching heart?

You know I loved you true for many years
Loved you night and day
How can you leave me?
Can't you see my tears,
And listen at me while I say?

After you've gone
Left me crying
After you've gone
Ain't no deny

You feel blue
You gon' feel sad
You'll miss the best lovin' you ever had

And there come a time
Don't you forget it
There come a time
When you'll regret it

Someday when you grow lonely
Your heart gon' break like mine
You gon' want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away

After you've gone
After we break up
After you've gone
You sure gon' wake up
You gon' find that
You were blind
To let somebody come around and change your mind

After the years we've been together
Through dawn and tears
All kind of weather

Someday, blue and down-hearted
You wanna be with me
Right back where you started
After you've gone
After you've gone away
Yeah
After you've gone
After you've gone away
