Al Jolson — Are You Lonesome Tonight?

(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? [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 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 [Singing] Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? (Are you lonesome tonight)
