Lyrics Are You Lonesome Tonight - Merle Haggard

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 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 sweetheart
Act one was when we met
You read your lines 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 then
To go on living without you
Now the stage is bare
And I’m standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you don’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
