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 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?

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight

You know, someone said the world is a stage

For each must play a part

Fated me playing in love

With you as my sweetheart

Act one was where we met

I loved you at first glance

You did your lines so cleverly

And you never missed a cue

Then came act two, you seemed to change

And your act restrained, and why

I'll never know

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 to 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 I can bring the curtain down

Is your heart filled with pain?

Shall I come back again?

Tell me, dear, are you lonesome tonight?
