[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
Lord, 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
