Are You Lonesome Tonight
Are You Lonesome Tonight
Singer: Elvis Presley
Music: Lou Handman
Lyrics: Roy Turk
Are you lonesome tonight?
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter 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?
[Spoken]
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 with 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’ve never known.
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 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.
Is your heart filled with pain?
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear,
Are you lonesome tonight?
The world’s a stage
–莎士比亚
