yes i’m lonesome tonight
and i miss you tonight
i’m so sorry we drifted apart
and my memory strays
to those wonderful days
when you kissed me
and called me sweetheart
all the chairs in the parlor
seem empty and bare
as i gaze at the doorstep
and picture you there
now my heart’s filled with pain
take me back once again
yes my dear
i’m so lonesome tonight
spoken
yes my darling
i’m lonesome tonight
i realize now that world is a stage
and each of us must play a part
i know too that
fate sometimes acts in strange ways
yes act one is where we met
and i too loved you at first glance
but i guess i didn’t really read my lines too well
then came act two
heh i’ve never changed
there was a misunderstanding
i know now that i shouldn’t have you listen to a socalled friend
the truth is my love
that she wanted you for her own
you don’t really have to doubt me
nor must you go on without me
yes the stage is bare
but please wait there
because i’m coming to you darling
and we’ll be together
when they bring the curtain down
sung
now my heart’s filled with pain
take me back once again
yes my dear
i’m so lonesome tonight
