Billie Holiday - The Moon Looks Down and Laughs Lyrics

Artist: Billie Holiday

Album: The Quintessential - Volume 6

  • Songwriters: Berk Kalamar, Harry Ruby, Sid Silvers

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 realized
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

I never realized
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
The moon looks down and laughs at me
