Lyrics
[verse]
Do you ever sit at twilight,
Watching shadows on the wall,
Wondering if I still remember
Every word, and after all?
Does the old porch swing still creak there
Where we used to sit and talk,
Or has someone new been sitting
Where I used to walk?
[verse]
I still keep the letter that you
Wrote me on that autumn day,
The one that said forever,
Before forever slipped away.
Do you ever doubt the choice you made there,
Wonder how it might have been,
Or have you closed that door for certain,
Never to open it again?
[bridge]
I remember the summer we met, the fireflies over the water,
The way you laughed like the whole world was easy.
I remember thinking nothing could ever come between two hearts
That fit so well together.
But time has a way of asking questions
We never think to answer until it's too late.
So tell me — when the house goes quiet,
When the radio plays that old song we knew,
Are you lonesome tonight, the way that I am?
[verse]
The stars look just the same up yonder,
The moon still climbs the same old hill,
But something in the world grew quieter
The night you said you always will —
Always will love someone else now,
Always will walk another way,
So I just ask the empty evening,
Are you lonesome, same as me today?
