Are You Lonesome Tonight? Songtext
von Al Jolson

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?


(Ooh)
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 playing in love with you as my sweetheart
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly, and never missed a cue
Then came act two, and you seemed to change, you acted strange
Why, I′ve never known?

Then came the day you went away and left me alone
If you lied when you said you loved me
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?)
