After I Sing All My Songs Lyrics - Merle Haggard

When the show is over and everyone is gone 

That's when this lonely feelin' comes along 

Everybody loves me while the show is goin' on 

But I need someone to love me after I sing all my songs 

I smile and play the music while they just cheer me on 

But this empty feelin' keeps on hangin' on 

Lord, I wish I had somebody just to be my only one 

I need someone to hold me after I sing all my songs 

After I sing my songs and after the crowd is gone 

I need someone to hold me after I sing all my songs 

After I sing my songs after the crowd is gone 

I need someone to hold me after I sing all my songs
