Lyrics
Verse
Tonight I’m downhearted for though we have parted,
I love you and I always will,
And while I’m so lonely, I’m writing you only
To see if you care for me still.

Chorus
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?

Verse
I hold with affection a fond recollection,
A romance of days now gone by.
And often I wonder if I made a blunder
By letting you bid me “Goodbye.”

Chorus
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?
