After You've Gone    (1918)

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.

Lyrics by Henry Creamer.
Composed by Turner Layton.
Recorded by Marion Harris; Bessie Smith; Louis Armstrong; many others.
