Helmut Lotti - are you lonesome tonight lyrics

<b>are you lonesome tonight</b> by <i>Helmut Lotti</i><br />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?

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 lines so cleverly and never missed a cue

And then came act two

You seemed to change, you acted strange

And why I'll never know

Honey, you lied when you said you love 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

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
