Yes I'm Lonesome Tonight

Yes I'm Lonesome Tonight - Dodie Stevens

Yes I'm lonesome tonight

And I miss you tonight

I'm so sorry we drifted apart

And my memories strains

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

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 so-called 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

Now my heart's filled with pain

Take me back once again

Yes my dear

I'm so lonesome tonight
