Fitzgerald, Ella - After You've Gone Lyrics






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've ever had
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 gone away

After I'm gone, after we break up
After I'm gone, you're gonna wake up
You will find you were blind
To let somebody come and change your mind

After the years we've been together
Thought joy and tears all kind of weather
Someday blue and downhearted
You'll long to be with me right back where you started
After I'm gone after I'm gone away

You will find you were blind
To let somebody come and change your mind

Someday blue and downhearted
You'll long to be with me right back where you started
After I'm gone after I'm gone away

You'll feel blue and you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you ever had

Someday when you've grown lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only

After you've gone after you've gone away
You made me sad and blue but now I'm through with you
And there's nothing more you can say
So jack be on your way
Miss Ella's ok

    My goodness! Ella the satin doll makes vocal magic with this oft recorded classic tune.

  6. T.... F....

    I prefer the Marion Harris version better, but Ella Fitzgerald has a voice like butter, and her voice is somewhat better than Harris' in my opinion.

  7. C.... C....

    AMAZING!!!

  8. E.... W....

    when was after you go on written

  9. W.... L....

    Ella's rendition of this old great tune. Ella is one of the best singers ever. Her music comes from her soul. Not all vocalists and musicians are blessed with music in their souls.

    This is a very old blues song from the 1910s before blues became jazz in the 1920s. A great rendition by the Queen.

    @Michael Watkins Much appreciated for the comment.

    Not a blues, just a Tin Pan Alley song (a popular song nearly 100 years old now). Marion Harris' 1918 recording features a wind band (flutes, clarinets, brass, etc.), straight eighth note rhythms and hardly a "blue note" anywhere. Worth a listen for context, certainly. I'm not sure when it became a standard (the sidebar shows a good bit of its history). Satchmo's 1929 recording still doesn't swing (except for a very brief 4 bars or so of very dotted eights in the coda which *hints* at swing) but has some blue notes, esp. in the trombone solo, and Louis does 'scat' during the one sung chorus.

    It was certainly a "standard" by the 1950's ....

    I'm quite partial to Ella's recordings with Count Basie for this one. This one is great, a real classic, but for some reason I like the 1979 one even better from a jazz standpoint, although at 62 years of age Ella's magic was coming from a slightly different angle than her magic on this one.
