AFTER HE'S GONE

After he’s gone, you’re gonna want someone to try and understand
After he’s gone, you’re gonna wonder why he ruined all your plans
I can’t make up for what he did or didn’t do
But darlin’ I’ll be waiting here for you

After he’s gone

After he’s gone, the nights are gonna seem much longer than before
After he’s gone, you’re gonna need someone to give you something more
Than empty words and phrases that don’t mean a blessed thing
An honest love for you is what I’ll bring

After he’s gone

After he’s gone, I’m gonna help you find your way into my arms
After he’s gone, I’m gonna hold you close and keep you from all harm
All the time I’ve known you I have thought you were a jewel
And darlin’ I’ll be waiting here for you

After he’s gone
