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 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
Then came act two
You seemed to change
And you acted strange
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 they can
bring the curtain down
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again
Tell me dear
Are you lonesome tonight
