ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT? - Answer Song




心結終被紓解 ....
Dodie Stevens

她情深欵欵的歌聲, 使我着迷了幾十年 ....
 



"ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT?" - Elvis Presley
Are you lonesome tonight?
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?

Does your memory stray to a bright 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 with 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, you acted strange
And why? I've never known
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 I 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?

每晚把我帶進夢鄉的電台深宵節目"Candle Light"
女主持介紹的一曲, 原來是 Dodie Stevens 對 Elvis Presley 情深欵欵細訴: "Yes, I'm lonesome tonight"
她的歌聲使我着迷了幾十年 ....


ANSWER SONG "YES I'M LONESOME TONIGHT" - Dodie Stevens 1960
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
Hey, 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
