After You've Gone (1929) Lyrics

Louis Armstrong After You've Gone (1929)

Blindside
about a burning fire
After you're gone
I could not lie
Skin untouched growing thicker for every step unwalked
And I don't know if it's the cold intention-slide
Taking me down

But what if You'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
Cause I'm just a stone
Right after You're gone

I could not lie
Even though dead skin like stone makes me ugly
It still pounds inside and it's red
And it's slipping through the grey cracks
And I know You know

But what if You'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
Cause I'm just a stone
Right after You're gone

The first thing that meets the eye
When I crossover into the light
I want it to be You
Right after I'm gone
