      After you've gone,  after you've gone away

   After you've gone, after the break up
   After you've gone, you are gonna wake up
   And you will find that you were blind
   To let somebody come and change your mind

      After the years that we've been together
      The joy and all the tears, in all types of weather
      Someday when you're down-hearted
      You'll long to be with me right back where we started
      After you've gone, after you've gone away

      ...(instr.)
      ...
      Oh babe think what you're doin'
      You know my love for you will drive me to ruin
      After you've gone, after you've gone away
