It's Only a Paper Moon

It's only a paper moon

Sailin' over a cardboard sea

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believed in me

It's only a canvas sky

Hangin' 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 phoney as it can be

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believed in me

Believe in me

Come, see about me

Without your love

It's a honky-tonk parade

And without your love

It's a melody played in a penny arcade

Got to be a Barnum world

Just as phoney as it can be

But it'll never be make-believe

If you believe in me

If you believe in me

If you believe in me

If you believe in me
