(Verse)
Now won't you listen, dearie
While I say
How can you tell me
That you're going away?
Don't say that we must part
Don't break my aching heart

You know I've loved you truly
Many years
Loved you night and day
How can you leave me?
Can you see my tears?
Listen while I say:

(Chorus)
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 missed the best fella you've ever had

Therе'll come a time
Now don't forget it
Thеre'll come a time
When you'll regret it
Someday when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you won't be only
After you've gone
After you've gone away
(Instrumental break)

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 won't be only
After you've gone
After you've gone away
