Norah sang this song as a tribute to Elvis Presley. Norah doesn´t do the narration but the band really gets into the song and the guitarist blends well with the piano. Norah added the next lines:
"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 make them bring the curtain down
...”
