(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 [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 [Verse 3] Without your love It's a honky tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played in a penny arcade [Verse 4] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] Without your love It's a honky tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played in a penny arcade [Verse 6] 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
