Lyrics to "After You've Gone"
song and video by Mary Kay Aufrance
performed with Tom Aufrance
After the party's over and done,
After the guests have all gone,
After the music and lights have gone out,
The feeling will linger on.
After the fire's light has gone dim,
and after the night has closed in,
Say you will al ways be here and then,
I'll know we will love again.
After the party's over,
After the guests have gone.
Say that you will al ways be here with me,
Say our love will linger on.
And our love will linger on.
After the feelings over,
After the love has gone.
One thing will still always be here with me,
The sad and the lonely song,
To sing even when you're gone.
