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?
