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'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

And never missed a cue

Then came act two,

You seemed to change

And 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

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?
