NINA SIMONE - After You've Gone lyrics

rate me

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

true 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 greatest mama that you ever ever 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 greatest 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
