Lyrics After You’ve Gone - Bessie Smith, Her Band

After You’ve Gone

After you’ve gone and left me crying,
After you’ve gone, no use denying,
You’ll feel blue, you’ll feel sad,
You’ll miss the dearest pal you 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.
