(Roy Turk and Lou Handman)
|
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 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 someone said that the world's a stage
|
And each must play a part.
|
Fate had me playing in love 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 make them bring the curtain down.
|
|
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
|
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
|
