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?
(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 1 was when we met
You read your lines so cleverly
And never missed a cue
Then came Act 2
You seemed to change
You acted strange
And why? I've never known
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 don't come back to me
Than they can bring the curtain down.
(singing)
Is your heart filled with pain?
Shall I come back again?
Tell me, dear,
Are you lonesome tonight?
