Are You Lonesome Tonight?

Are you lonesome tonight

Do you miss me tonight

Are you sorry we drifted apart

Does your memory stray to a brighter summer day

When I kissed you and called you sweetheart

Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare

Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight



I wonder if you're lonesome tonight

You know someone said that the world's a stage

And each must play a part

Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart

Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance

You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a cue

Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange

And why, I've never known

Honey, you lied when you said you loved me

And I had no cause to doubt you

But I'd rather go on hearing your lies

Than go on living without you

Now the stage is bare, and I'm standing there

With emptiness all around

And if you won't come back to me

Then they can bring the curtain down



Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight
