Are You Lonesome Tonight? (Live at The International Hotel, Las Vegas, NV - 8/24/69 Midnight Show) Lyrics

Are you lonesome tonight
Do you miss me tonight
Are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memory stray to a brighter 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
"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
