ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?


    Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss me I say?
    Are you sorry we drifted apart?
    Does your memories cling to that bright summer day
    When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?

Like the rose on the vine I am clinging to you
As I did when we drifted apart
I am wishing you back to that little shack
Where I kissed you and called you sweetheart

Does the chair in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you miss me and wish I was there?
Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again?
Tell me, darling, are you lonesome tonight?


I have counted the days, I've counted the nights
I've counted the months and the years
I have counted on you since we drifted apart
Tell me, darling, are you lonesome tonight?
