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

(bridge)

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

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
