Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight,
Are you sorry that we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter summer day,
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?

Do the chairs in you front room seem empty and bare,
Do you gaze at your door step 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 is a stage.
And each of us must play a part,
Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart.

Act one was when we met, girl 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’ll never know but 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 here all alone,
With emptiness all around me if you won't come back to me,
Then I guess it's time to pull the final curtain on down.

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