It's Only a Paper Moon

Say, it's only a paper moon

Sailing over a cardboard sea

But it wouldn't be make believe

If you believe in me

Yes, it's only a canvas sky

Hanging over a muslin tree

But it wouldn't be make believe

If you believe 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 & Bailey world

Just as phony as it can be

But it wouldn't be make believe

If you believe in me

Without your love, it's a honky-tonk parade

Without your love, it's a melody played in a penny arcade

Yes, it's a Barnum & Bailey world

About as phony as it can be

But it wouldn't be make believe

If you believe in me

If you believe in me

If you believe in me
