Songs :

• Are you lonesome tonight ? by Elvis Presley :
  "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..."
