Are You Lonesome Tonight?
(words & music by 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?
