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
