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
