You Let Me Down (12/3/35) - Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson

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 Id be wearing diamonds

I would have the smartest car in town

Made me think that Im 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

Thats 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
