Ruth Etting - After You've Gone

To Rate
Pre-Chorus
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

Chorus
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Some day when you'll grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you’ve gone, after you’ve gonе away

Verse 1
Now won't you listen deary, while I say
How could you tеll me that you’re goin' away?
Don't say that we must part
Don't break my aching heart

Bridge
You know I’ve loved you truly, many years
Loved you night and day
Oh, can you leave me?
Can't you see my tears?
Listen while I say
Pre-Chorus
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone, there's no denyin'
You'll feel so battled, you'll feel so bad
You'll miss the bestest pal you ever had

Chorus
There'll come a time, and don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
All day, 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
Away, away…

Ruth Etting

Ruth Etting (1897-1978) peaked as a radio and Broadway singer in the 1920s and ‘30s. Initially, she announced her retirement in 1935 and again in 1937. Her retirement was complicated by her ex-husband and manager Moe Snyder, an abusive man who made threats against her and others around her. In 1938, he shot her new boyfriend and pianist Harry Myrl Alderman and was convicted of attempted murder. This part of her life was dramatized in the 1953 musical film Love Me or Leave Me. She and Alderman lived quietly in Colorado until her death.
