You Let Me Down Songtext
von Jane Froman

When the moon is all aglow
Those who carry torches know
How a torch can burn
How a heart can yearn
All the pretty things you said turned my head
I was young
Now another torch song must be sung


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 fall so far
I was even looking for a cottage
I was measured for a wedding gown
That's why I got cynical, you put me on a pinnacle
Oh, you let me down, let me down
How you let me down

You said when I smiled it made you happy
Made you feel so blue to see me frown
That's why I got cynical, you put me on a pinnacle
And then you let me down, let me down
How you let me down
