The Moon Looks Down & Laughs Lyrics - Billie Holiday

(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
