After You're Gone

After You're Gone - Bessie Smith

Written by：T. Layton/H. Creamer

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
