Are You Lonesome Tonight Songtext

von Sonny James

Are you lonesome tonight
Do you miss me tonight
Are you sorry we've 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 of us play a part.

Fate had me playing in love
With you as my sweetheart
Act one was when we met
And I loved you at first glance

You read your lines so cleverly
And you never missed a cue
Then came act two

You seemed to change
You acted strange
And why I'll never know

Honey you lied when you said that 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 won't come back to me
Then they can ring the curtain down.
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again.
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight?
