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?
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said
The world's a stage
And each must play a part
Fate had me playing in love
With you as my sweet heart
Act one was when we met
I loved you at first glance
You read your line 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 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?
