Al Jolson Are You Lonesome Tonight lyrics

Are you lonesome tonight
Do you miss me tonight
Are you sorry we drifted apart
Is the memory still in your heart?

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 the world's a stage
And each must play a part
Fate had me play a lover with you as my sweet heart

Act one was where we met
I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly

And never missed a cue

Then came act two
And you seemed to change
You acted strange
Why? I'll never know

Then came the day
When you went away and left me all alone
If you lied when you said you loved
I had no 'cause to doubt you

But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you
The stage is bare and I'm standing there
In the part of a broken clown
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
(Are you lonesome tonight)
