I wonder if ... you are lonesome tonight.
You know someone said that the world is 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 loved you at first glance.
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'll never know.

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
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.


[Coda]              
             
Is your heart 

            
filled with pa

            
in, shall I co

me back again?
            
Tell me, dear,

            
 are you lones

      
ome tonight?
              
(Ooh, ooh, ooh

              
, ooh, ooh, oo

      
oooh)
