Alberta Hunter — After All These Years

[Verse] We've been together since we went to school But just the same, you're growing cool All these years, we've gambled in life's game To lose you now would be a shame [Chorus] Don't say you don't want me Don't say you're going away If you do, it will haunt me And you'll be sorry some day We've been through all sorts of weather We've been so happy together You said you'd love me forever And I believed you were true Yes, I believed in you I know I'm going to miss you When some trouble appears I'd love to fondle and kiss you And wipe away your tears Don't refuse me Don't abuse me Say you don't want to lose me After all these years [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Don't say you don't want me Don't say you're going away If you do, it will haunt me And you'll be sorry some day We've been through all sorts of weather We've been so happy together You said you'd love me forever And I believed you were true Yes, I believed in you I know I'm going to miss you When some trouble appears I'd love to fondle and kiss you And wipe away your tears Don't refuse me Please don't abuse me Say you don't want to lose me After all these years
