After You're Gone - Bessie Smith
Now listen honey while I'm saying
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 true for many years
Loved 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 crying
After you've gone there's no denying
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
Some day 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 crying
After you've gone there's no denying
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
Some day 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
