Are you lonesome tonight - Al Jolson

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

(Spoken)

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

You read your lines so cleverly

And never missed a cue

Then came act two

You seemed to change

You acted strange

And why, I’ve never known

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 then

To go on living without you

Now the stage is bare

And I’m standing there

With emptiness all around

And if you don’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
