Are you lonesome tonight do you miss me tonight are you sorry we've 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 that the world's a stage and each of us play a part

Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart

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

You read your lines so cleverly and you never missed a cue then came act two

You seemed to change you acted strange and why I'll never know

Honey you lied when you said that 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 they can ring the curtain down

Is your heart filled with pain shall I come back again

Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight
