Are You Lonesome Tonight
Anne Murray · Country Croonin' [Straightway Records] [2002]
Are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memory stray to a bright 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?
--- Instrumental ---
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?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?...
