It's Only a Paper Moon Lyrics

It?s only a paper moon,
Sailin? over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn?t be make believe,
If you believed in me!
Yes, 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!

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!
