Play-along (0:53)
Just the accompaniment, no tune: you play or sing the melody.
All the words
After the ball is over,
After the break of morn—
After the dancers' 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.
