Lyrics of Are You Lonesome Tonight? by Elvis Presley

verse

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?

verse

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?

verse

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

verse

You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change, 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

verse

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

outro

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