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
They say 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, you acted strange
And why I’ve never known
Darling, 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
They can just bring the curtain down

Sung:
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight
