It's Only a Paper Moon

Lyrics

Say, it's only a paper moon
 Sailing over a cardboard sea
 But it wouldn't be make-believe
 If you believed in me
 Yes, it's only a canvas sky
 Hanging over a muslin tree
 But it wouldn't be make-believe
 If you believed in me
 Without your love
 It's a honky tonk parade
 Without your love
 It's a melody played in a penny arcade
 It's a Barnum and Bailey world
 Just as phony as it can be
 But it wouldn't be make-believe
 If you believed in me
 Say, it's only a paper moon
 Sailing over a cardboard sea
 But it wouldn't be make-believe
 If you believed in me
 Yes, it's only a canvas sky
 Hanging over a muslin tree
 But it wouldn't be make-believe
 If you believed in me
 Without your love
 It's a honky-tonk parade
 Without your love
 It's a melody played in a penny arcade
 It's a Barnum and Bailey world
 Just as phony as it can be
 But it wouldn't be make-believe
 If you believed in me
 It's phony it's plain to see
 How happy I would be
 If you believed in me
