Say, its only a paper moon,
Sailing over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldnt be make believe,
If you believed in me.
Yes, its only a canvas sky,
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldnt be make believe,
If you believed in me.
Without your love its a honky tonk parade,
Without your love its a melody played in a penny arcade.
Its a Barnum and Bailey world
Just a phony as it can be,
But it wouldnt be make believe
If you believed in me.
