The Hot Sardines - After You've Gone

Now listen honey, while I say,
How could you tell me you're goin' away? Well,
Don't say that we must part,
Don't break my aching heart

You know I've loved you so, so many years,
I loved you night and day
How can you leave me?
Well, 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, and you'll feel sad
You'll miss the sweetest honeypie you ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time you'll regret it
Someday, when you go and you get lonely
Your heart will break, you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away

Well now, now, well
After you've gone, after we break up
After I'm gone, you're gonna
wanna make up
You will find that you were -----
To let some honey come around and change your mind
After the years we've been together
Through joy and tears
and all kinds of weather

You'll be blue and
downhearted
You'll want to be right here with me
Back where you started
After I'm gone
After I'm gone

And, honey, you can forget my name
Because I'll be gone
I'll be gone
