After You've Gone - Al Jolson

You're just a mile away One thousand five tiny steps from here But if I brought you near Would you believe when I say It seems like yesterday That I could reach out and touch your face But as I fall from grace Into whose arms can I lay It's always much too late We get the signs We can't communicate Or turn back time So what will be now Do you feel somehow Not so together and not quite as strong Now I believe Alone doesn't have to mean lonely After you've gone I need a healing wind To cool the flame burning in my sight It must accelerate For two wrongs they don't make a right And all these solitaires, lone victories Wars fought in isolation, with none to please The future's still uncertain The past is done Now I believe Alone doesn't have to mean lonely After you've gone Now I believe Alone doesn't have to mean lonely After you've gone

Now won't you listen honey, while I say, How could you tell me that you're goin' 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: After you've gone and left me cryin' After you've gone there's no denyin' You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad You'll miss the dearest 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 Someday, 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 cryin' After you've gone there's no denyin' You're gonna feel blue, and you're gonna feel sad You're gonna feel bad And you'll miss, and you'll miss, And you'll miss the bestest pal you ever had There'll come a time, now don't forget it There'll come a time when you'll regret it But baby, think what you're doin' I'm gonna haunt you so, I'm gonna taunt you so It's gonna drive you to ruin After you've gone, after you've gone away.

I found my love in Avalon Beside the bay. I left my love in Avalon And I sailed away. I dream of her in Avalon From dusk till dawn. So I think I'll travel on To Avalon. Every morn' my memories stray Across the sea where flying fishes play. And as the night is falling I find that I'm recalling That blissful all-enthralling day. Beside the bay. And I sailed away. I dream of her in Avalon From dusk till dawn. So I think I'll travel on To Avalon.

Life is not a highway strewn with flowers Still it holds a goodly share of bliss When the sun gives way to April showers Here's the point you should never miss Though April showers May come your way They bring the flowers That bloom in May So if its raining Have no regrets Because, it isn't raining rain, you know Its raining violets And when you see clouds Upon the hill You soon will see crowds Of daffodils So keep on looking for the bluebird And listening for his song Whenever April showers come along And when you see clouds Upon the hill You soon will see crowds Of daffodils So keep on looking for the bluebird And listening for his song Whenever April showers come along

Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? I wonder if you're lonesome tonight You know someone said that the world's a stage And each must play a part. Fate had me playing in love You as my sweet heart Act one was when we met I loved you at first glance You read your line so cleverly And never missed a cue Then came act two You seemed to change and you acted strange And why I'll never know Honey, you lied when you said you loved me And I had no cause to doubt you But I'd rather go on hearing your lies Than go on living without you Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there With emptiness all around And if you won't come back to me Then make them bring the curtain down Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

I'm setting On top of the world I'm rolling along Yes, rolling along And I'm quitting The blues of the world I'm singing a song Yes, singing a song Glory hallelujah, I just told the parson "Hey, par, get ready to call" Just like humpty dumpty I'm gonna fall And I'm setting On top of the world I'm rolling along Rolling along Don't want any millions I'm getting my share I've only got one suit (Just one) That's all I can wear A bundle of money Don't make me feel gay A sweet little honey Is making me say And I'm setting Sitting on top Top of the world I'm rolling along Rolling along And I'm quitting Quitting the blues Blues of the world I'm singing a song Yes, singing a song Glory hallelujah, I just told the parson "Hey, par, get ready to call" Just like humpty dumpty I'm gonna fall (Yeah) I'm setting on top Top of the world I'm rolling along Rolling along
