Are You Lonesome Tonight



Are you lonesome tonight
do you miss me tonight
Elvis Presley Are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memory stray to a bright 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
Spoken:
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 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 never knew
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 they can bring the curtain down

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