Lyrics

[Intro] I never feel a thing is real When I'm away from you Out of your embrace The world's a temporary parking place Ooh-ooh A tiny bubble for a minute Ooh-ooh You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it [Verse 1] Say, it's only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me [Verse 2] Yes, it's only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me [Bridge] Without your love It's a honky-tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played in a pеnny arcade [Verse 3] It's a Barnum and Bailey world Just as phoney as it can bе But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me [Outro] It's a Barnum and Bailey world Just as phoney as it can be But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me
