After Youve Gone
Bessie Smith
Now listen honey while I say
How can you tell me that you're going away?
Don't say that we must part
Don't break my achin' heart

You know I love you true for many years
Love you night and day
How can you leave me
Can't you see my tears?
So listen while I say

After you've gone
And left me cryin'
After you've gone
There's no denyin'
You'll feel blue
You'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal
You ever had

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'll want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away
After you've gone
Left me cryin'
After you've gone
There's no denyin'
You'll feel blue
You'll feel sad
You'll miss the best pal
You ever had

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 heat will break like mine
And you'll want me only
After you've gone
After you've gone away
