Are You Lonesome Tonight?

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 held 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 that someone said the world's a stage and each must play a part

And fate had me playin' In Love with you as my sweetheart

Act one was where 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 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 have 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 they can bring the curtain down

Is your heart filled with pain could I come back again

Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight
