Classic Poem

VERSE 1

Now won't you listen, honey, while I say
How could you tell me that you're going 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:

REFRAIN

" 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 bestest 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.
Oh! Babe,
Think what you're doing,
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin,
After you've gone
After you've gone away. "

VERSE 2

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 some day.

REPEAT REFRAIN
