Today’s song is Are You Lonesome Tonight? by Elvis Presley

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 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.

It’s 31 years ago today that the King was taken from us. I wanted to pay my respects with today’s SOTD, which is my favourite-ever Elvis song.
