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

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
with you as my sweetheart
Act one was when we met

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 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 to go on living without you.

Now the stage is bare,
and I’m standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you don’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
