Are You Lonesome Tonight?

(Roy Turk - Lou Handman)



Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight

Are you sorry we drifted apart?

Does your memory stray to a bright summer day

When you kissed me and called me sweetheart.



Does the room where we once loved seem empty and bare

Do you gaze at your pillow and picture me there

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

Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight?



I wonder if you're lonesome tonight

You know someone said the world's a stage

And everyone must play a part

Fate had me playing, In Love with you as my sweetheart.



Act one was where we met

You read your lines so well and never missed a cue

Then act two you seemed to change

You acted strange and why I never knew.



Honey, you lied when you said you loved me

And I had no cause to doubt you

And I'd rather go on hearing your lies

Than to go on living without you.



So 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 ring the curtains down.



Is your heart filled with pain

Shall I come back again?

Tell me dear

Are you lonesome tonight?...
