Music and Lyrics by Henry Creamer and Turner Layton (1918) 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 that 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. Don't you remember how you used to say, You'd always love me in the same old way? And now it's very strange, That you should ever change. Perhaps some other sweetie's won your heart, Tempted you away But let me warn you tho' we're miles apart, You'll regret someday... 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 that 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. |
