"After the Ball" was a huge hit in the 1890s. It sold over 5 million copies of sheet music.
The lyrics can float but typically all have this familiar chorus -
Cho: 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. - Published by
