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 overAfter the break of dawnAfter the dancer's leavingAfter the stars are goneMany a heart is achingIf you could read them allMany the hopes that have vanishedAfter the ball. Bright lights were flashing in the grand ballroomSoftly the music, playing sweet tunesThere came my sweetheart, my love, my ownI wished some water, left her aloneWhen I returned, dear, there stood a manKissing my sweetheart, as lovers canLetras de cancionesDown fell the glass, pet, broken that's allJust as my heart was, after the ball After the ball is overAfter the break of dawnAfter the dancer's leavingAfter the stars are goneMany a heart is achingIf you could read them allMany the hopes that have vanishedAfter the ball. Long years have passed, child, I've never wedTrue to my lost love, though she is deadShe tried to tell me, tried to explainI would not listen, pleadings were in vainOne day a letter came from that manHe was her brother, the letter ranThat's why I'm lonely, not home at allI broke her heart, After the ball After the ball is overAfter the break of dawnAfter the dancer's leavingAfter the stars are goneMany a heart is achingIf you could read them allMany the hopes that have vanishedAfter the ball.After the ball is overAfter the break of dawnAfter the dancer's leavingAfter the stars are goneMany a heart is achingIf you could read them allMany the hopes that have vanishedAfter the ball.
