Story Behind The Song
I think my wife is the sexiest woman alive. And my infatuation sometimes reaches intolerable levels. The song is simply me venting about how infatuated and transfixed I am. And I'm telling her to stop being so sexy...but not until after I'm gone. Lucky guy huh?

Lyrics
After I'm Gone
Copyright 2005, Sean Micheal McMann
I can no longer ignore ya...
I hope this doesn't bore ya...
But I got somethin' for ya...
I venture to say, I hope I live to see the day
When you come out to play...
With me
Hmmmm, with me
As hard as steel, when I see you in high heels
You haul my heart around the keel
Is this real?
Hmmmm, so real
Can you try...
To have some mercy?
Can you try...
Not to lead me on?
Maybe you can try...
Not to make me so thirsty
Hmmm, but don't try...
Until after I'm gone
The shape of your rear, it just initiates fear
When you're near
Hmmmm, so near
Try to douse the fire, but the vision won't expire no way...
Hmmmm, no way
Can you try...
To have some mercy?
Can you try...
Not to lead me on?
Maybe you can try...
Not to make me so thirsty?
But don't try...
Until after I'm gone
BRIDGE
If there was any fate I could choose...
You would be my muse
I'd dress you up, and love you down
(Love the verb, not love the noun)
REPEAT CHORUS
