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'll 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 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'll break like mine and you'll want me only After you've gone, after you've gone away
