Nina Simone - After You've Gone Lyrics

Now listen, honey, while I say
How can you fix your mind to say you're going away?

Don't say that we must part, don't break my aching heart
You know you love me through for many years
Love me night and day, can't you see my tears
How can you leave me? 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 dearest pal you ever had
There'll come a time, don't you 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 dearest pal you ever had
There'll come a time, don't you 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
Oh, yeah
After you've gone, after you've gone away
