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?
