Lyrics After You've Gone - Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra

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
