After You've Gone (Recorded 1927)

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'll grow lonely,
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only.
After you've gone, after you've gone away...

Now won't you listen dearie while I say
How could you tell me that you're going away?
Don't say that we must part,
Don't break my aching heart.

You know I loved you truly many years,
Love you 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 crying,
After you've gone, there's no denying,
You'll feel so sad, oh, you'll feel so bad,
You'll miss the bestest pal you ever had.

There'll come a time and don't forget it,
There'll come a time, when you'll regret it.
Oh, babe, think what you're doin'!
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin

After you've gone, after you've gone away...
Away... Away...
