the moon looks down and laughs - billie holiday lyrics

bert kalmar / sid silvers / harry ruby

the moon looks down and laughs
and says, “i told you so”
why did i let you go away
i was so sure you loved me madly
and when i wanted you
you’d gladly come back to me
i never realised the day we said goodbye
how very sorry i would be
and every night when i walk
up and down this lonesome town
the moon looks down and laughs at me
