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 ya night and day
How can you leave me?
can't ya see my tears?
And listen at me while I'm saying

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

You feel blue
You don't feel safe
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'll grow lonely
your heart'll break like mine
you're 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 joy and tears
All kind of weather

Someday
blue and downhearted
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
