Song Lyrics
Oldies but goodies

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 they can bring the curtain down

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 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 words, see left column]

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