[Intro]
Now won't you listen honey while I say
How could you tell me that you're going away?
Don't say that we must part
Don't break your baby's heart
You know I've loved you for these many years
Loved you night and day
Oh honey, baby, can't you see my tears?
Listen while I say
[Verse 1]
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 only pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you regret it
Oh babe, think what you're doing
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away, away
[Verse 2]
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 only pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you regret it
Oh babe, think what you're doing
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away, I said away
