1. Are you lone-some to-night?   Do you miss me to-night?
           C         A7         Dm 
   Are you sor-ry we drif-ted a-part? 
             G7  
   Does your mem-o-ry stray    To a bright-er sum-mer day
                                          C
   When I kissed you and called you sweet-heart?

** Do the chairs in your par-lour    Seem emp-ty and bare?
          D7                            G7 
   Do you gaze at your door-step    And pic-ture me there? 
                                
           C                  Em7              D7 
** Is your heart fil-led with pain?    Shall I come back a-gain?
           G7                         C         G7
   Tell me dear, are you lone-some to-night? |      | 

Spoken: (Play Verse 1 over the lyrics)
   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 you as my sweet heart.
   Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
   You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
   Then came act two, you seemed to change, you acted strange
   And why I'll never know.

   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
   Than to go on living without you.

   Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
   With emptiness all around
   And if you won't come back to me
   Then they can bring the curtain down.

           C                  Em7              D7 
** Is your heart fil-led with pain?    Shall I come back a-gain?
           G7                         C
   Tell me dear, are you lone-some to-night?
