It's Only A Paper Moon

I never feel a thing is real When I'm away from you Out of your embrace This world's a temporary parking place A bubble for a minute You smile The bubble has a rainbow in it 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 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
