It’s Only A Paper Moon

Lyrics

[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 Yes, it's only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me [Chorus] Without your love It's a honky tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played in a penny arcade [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] Say it's only a paper moon (Say it's only you) Sailing over a cardboard sea (Wouldn't you believe?) But it wouldn't be make-believe (If you believed in) If you believed in me (Me) Yes, it's only a canvas sky (Sailing over a sea) Hanging over a muslin tree (Wouldn't you just believe?) But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me [Outro] Without your love It's a honky tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played in a penny arcade
