Are You Lonesome Tonight?      Elvis Presley

 

Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter 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 is a stage where each must play a part.
   Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweet heart.
   Act one was where we met 
   I loved you at first glance
   You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a 'q'
   Then came act 2 
   You seemed to change and you acted strange
   And why I've never known.
   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?
