Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Tonight I’m down-hearted
For tho’ we have parted
I love you, and always will
And while I’m so lonely
I’m writing you only
To see if you care for me still
Chorus
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?
- I hold with affection
A fond recollection
A romance of days now gone by
And often I wonder
If I made a blunder
By letting you bid me “Good-bye”
