Elvis Presley - Are You Lonesome Tonight? (Tiger Man)
(Words & music: Roy Turk / Lou Handman)
Are you lonesome tonight,
do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny 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 wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and 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 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.
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

Yeah,I agree there is so much regret and sadness in his lyrics and his voice! But his way of singing is what makes it so believable and heart-breaking! Some people never realise, he did!

Elvis left this world still loving Priscilla, and I believe that she loves him still, for he was the great love of her life. I miss him.

Think it's easy being married to a rock star? I wonder what Cynthia Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Bianca Jagger would say about your comment. I see your point, though, Knucklez.
