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
