Lyrics:

4 Takte

Are you lonesome tonight?
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we 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 you heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you
lonesome tonight?

GESPROCHEN:
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight,
you know someone said:
The world is 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 lines so cleverly,
and never missed a cue
Then came act two.
You seemed to change,
you acted strange
But 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 can hearing your lies,
Than to go on living without you.

Now the stage is care
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.

Are you lonesome tonight?
Do you miss me tonight?
Tell me dear,
are you lonesome tonight?
