Tonight I'm downhearted, for though we have parted
I love you and I always will
And while I'm so lonely, I'm writing you only
To see if you care for me still
Melody
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 you doorstep and picture me there
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again
Tell me, Dear, are you lonesome tonight
