After You’ve Gone - Jimmy Rushing

Now won’t you listen honey, while I say

How could you tell me that you’re goin' 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

After you’ve gone and left me cryin'

After you’ve gone there’s no denyin'

You’ll feel blue, you’ll feel sad

You’ll miss the dearest pal you’ve ever had

There’ll come a time, now don’t forget it

There’ll come a time when you’ll regret it

Someday, 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 and left me cryin'

After you’ve gone there’s no denyin'

You’re gonna feel blue, and you’re gonna feel sad

You’re gonna feel bad

And you’ll miss, and you’ll miss

And you’ll miss the bestest pal you ever had

There’ll come a time, now don’t forget it

There’ll come a time when you’ll regret it

But baby, think what you’re doin'

I’m gonna haunt you so, I’m gonna taunt you so

It’s gonna drive you to ruin

After you’ve gone, after you’ve gone away
