Now won't you listen dearie, while I say
How can you tell me that you're goin' away?
Don't say that we must part
Don't break my achin' heart
You know I've loved you truly many years
I've felt it night and day
How can you leave me, can't you see my tears?
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 that you ever had
And after 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
