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 my aching heart
You know I've loved you true for 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 crying
After you've gone there's no denying
You'll feel blue, You'll feel sad
You'll miss the bestest 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
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 and left me crying
After you've gone there's no denying
You'll feel blue, You'll feel sad
You'll miss the bestest 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
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
