Now won't you listen dearie while I say? How could you tell me that you're goin' away? Don't you say that we must part Don't break my aching heart
You know I've loved 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 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
After the years, we've been together Their joy and tears and all kind 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
