are you lonesome tonight
do you miss me tonight
are you sorry we drifted apart
does your memory stray
to a brighter sunny day
when i kissed you
and called you sweetheart
do the chairs in your parlour
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
and i love you so
the people ask me how
how i've lived till now
i tell them i don't know
i guess they understand
how lonely life has been
but life began again
the day you took my hand
and yes i know
how lonely life can be
shadows follow me
and the night won't set me free
but i don't let
the evening get me down
now that you're around me
the old home town looks the same
as i step down from the train
and there to meet me is my mama and papa
down the road i look and there runs mary
hair of gold and lips like cherries
it's good to touch the
green green grass of home
yes they'll all come to meet me
arms reaching smiling sweetly
it's good to touch
the green green grass of home
is your heart filled with
pain shall i come back again
tell me dear are you lonesome tonight
