Are you lonesome tonight?
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray
To a bright sunny 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?
SPOKEN
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
And then came act two
You seemed to change,
You acted strange
And why I'll never know
Honey, you lied
When you said you love 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 bring the curtain down
Is your heart filled with pain,
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear,
Are you lonesome tonight?
