'Are You Lonesome Tonight?' by Elvis Presley
Are you lonesome tonight?
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray,
To a bright 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 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.
Then came act two, you seemed to change, you acted strange,
