The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
