Are You Lonesome Tonight?
(words & music by roy turk & 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 & called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty & bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep & 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 & 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 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 & 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?
