Are You Lonesome Tonight Songtext
von Al Jolson

(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 that 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′ve never know
Then came the day you went away and left me all 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 make them 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)
