VERSE 01: I really never knew/ What true love could do/ But now I'm learning through my yearning/ why I was always blue:
CHORUS: After tonight I won't be lonesome/ After tonight My poor heart won't pine/ After tonight there'll be a dawning of Love's bright morning for we find/ After the showers come happy hours/ that's when the flowers all seem bright/ It's plain to see, dear, that's how we'll be dear,/ You'll be with me, dear After tonight.
VERSE 02: I never seemed to care/ I was in despair/ Until I found some one around/ who made everything seem fair:
