(Henry Creamer/Turner Layton)

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've missed the dearest pal you ever had

There'll come a time - now don't forget it
There'll come a time - when you regret it
Some day you will go lonely
Your heart will ache like mine - and you'll want me only

After you've gone - After you've gone away

Solo

After I've gone - After we break up
After I've gone - You're gonna wake up
You will find - you were blind
To let somebody come and change your mind

After the years - we've been together
The joy and tears - all kinds of weather
Some day blue and down hearted
You long to be with me - right back where we started

After I've gone - After I've gone away

After I've gone aw
