Al Dubin / Harry Warren
|
|
You told me that I was like an angel
|
Told me I was fit to wear a crown
|
So that you could get a thrill
|
You put me on a pedestal
|
And then you let me down, let me down.
|
|
You told me that I'd be wearing diamonds
|
I would have the smartest car in town
|
Made me think that I'm the top
|
And then you let the ladder drop
|
You know you let me down, let me down
|
|
I walked upon a rainbow
|
I clung onto a star
|
You had me up in heaven
|
That's why I had to tall so far
|
|
I was even looking for a cottage
|
I was measured for a wedding gown
|
That how I got cynical
|
You put me on a pinnacle
|
And then you let me down, let me down
|
How you let me down
|
|

YOU LET ME DOWN
