After You’ve Gone - Curtis Stigers & The Danish Radio Big Band

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.

There'll be laughter even after you're gone I'll find reasons to face that empty dawn Cause I've memorized each line in your face And not even death can ever erase The story they tell to me I'll miss you Oh, how I'll miss you I'll dream of you And I'll cry a million tears But the sorrow will pass And the one thing that will last Is the love that you've given to me There'll be laughter even after you're gone I'll find reasons and I'll face that empty dawn Cause I've memorized each line in your face And not even death could ever erase The story they tell to me

Everyone loves lovers Rockin hand in hand Blue eyed boy, brown eyed girl fame See the woman with the man Once they were strangers Now they re going home Everyone, everyone loves lovers Except when you re alone The world s in love with lovers Throws open every door Diamond ring who round her finger They ain t looking anymore Running through the rain drop Stealing kisses in the sun Except when you don t have one Everyone loves lovers Hear them talking on the phone Baby baby I miss you so much I meet when you re coming home Thank god I ve found you Now I ll never be alone Everyone, everyone loves loversexcept when you re alone Except when you re alone Is everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone s wants love You re not alone You re not alone No no no You re not alone You re not alone

Love makes us laugh Love makes us cry We're up and we're down We don't understood why But we take it We're just tryin' to make it Sometimes we lose touch With our feelings inside We put up our walls When we injure our pride And we break up Only to make up Easy love has never been easy I've been searchin' tryin' every door 'Till I finally found what I was looking for And it takes what it takes We all make mistakes There are so many mountains to climb But I know that our love will survive baby This time We heal from the pain And we learn from the past The future is ours Girl we've found it at last We both know it We can't help but show it Baby so many times when the road got rough We thought that we both had enough But we kept it alive Somehow the love wouldn't die It just wouldn't die And it takes what it takes We all make mistakes There are so many mountains to climb But I know that our love will survive baby This time

You have opened up your door I couldnt believe my look You and your new blue dress Taking away my breath A cradle of soft and warm It couldnt do me no harm You are showing me how to give Into temptation logging for wealthy earth will rebel Into temptation I am a nervous words Could never amount to be trail Suns is all my own and the price to watch it fail As I turn and go you looked at me for half of second Open invitation for me to go into temptation Logging for wealthy earth will rebel Into temptation I am a nervous words We can go sitting here cloud up Losing your self into linger long Into temptation right where you belong The guilty get no sleep In the last slow . of morning Experience is cheap I should have listen to the warning But the cradle is soft and warm Into temptation logging for wealthy earth will rebel Into temptation I am a nervous words Into your wild open arms no way the break the spell Break the spell dont break the spell Dont wanna break the spell
