Are You Lonesome Tonight - Laughing Version [Bonus Track]

Are you lonesome tonight

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 now 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 love you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a cue
And then came act two
You seemed to change, you acted strange and why I´ll never know
Honey, you lied when you said you love me!!!
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!

Is your Heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
