Lyrics After the Ball (Remastered) - Julie London
A
little
maiden
climbed
an
old
man's
knee,
Begged
for
a
story,
"Do,
Uncle,
please."
Why
are
you
single;
Why
live
alone?
Have
you
no
babies,
have
you
no
home?"
"I
had
a
sweetheart,
years,
years
ago:
Where
she
is
now,
pet,
you
soon
will
know.
List
to
the
story,
I'll
tell
it
all.
I
believed
her
faithless,
after
the
Ball."
After
the
ball
is
over
After
the
break
of
dawn
After
the
dancer's
leaving
After
the
stars
are
gone
Many
a
heart
is
aching
If
you
could
read
them
all
Many
the
hopes
that
have
vanished
After
the
ball.
Bright
lights
were
flashing
in
the
grand
ballroom
Softly
the
music,
playing
sweet
tunes
There
came
my
sweetheart,
my
love,
my
own
I
wished
some
water,
left
her
alone
When
I
returned,
dear,
there
stood
a
man
Kissing
my
sweetheart,
as
lovers
can
Down
fell
the
glass,
pet,
broken
that's
all
Just
as
my
heart
was,
after
the
ball
After
the
ball
is
over
After
the
break
of
dawn
After
the
dancer's
leaving
After
the
stars
are
gone
Many
a
heart
is
aching
If
you
could
read
them
all
Many
the
hopes
that
have
vanished
After
the
ball.
Long
years
have
passed,
child,
I've
never
wed
True
to
my
lost
love,
though
she
is
dead
She
tried
to
tell
me,
tried
to
explain
I
would
not
listen,
pleadings
were
in
vain
One
day
a
letter
came
from
that
man
He
was
her
brother,
the
letter
ran
That's
why
I'm
lonely,
not
home
at
all
I
broke
her
heart,
After
the
ball
After
the
ball
is
over
After
the
break
of
dawn
After
the
dancer's
leaving
After
the
stars
are
gone
Many
a
heart
is
aching
If
you
could
read
them
all
Many
the
hopes
that
have
vanished
After
the
ball.
After
the
ball
is
over
After
the
break
of
dawn
After
the
dancer's
leaving
After
the
stars
are
gone
Many
a
heart
is
aching
If
you
could
read
them
all
Many
the
hopes
that
have
vanished
After
the
ball.
