VERSE:
Are you lonesome - tonight? Do you miss me - tonight?
Are you sorry - we drifted apart? ─
Does your memo-ry 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? ─

SPOKEN VERSE: [SPOKEN with background strumming]
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 sweetheart

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 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 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 bring the curtain down

OUTRO: [SUNG]
Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? ─
