It's Only a Paper Moon Songtext
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
Say it′s only a paper moon (say it's only)
Sailing over a cardboard sea (if you only)
But it wouldn′t be make-believe (believe)
If you believed in me (me)
Yes, it's only a canvas sky (sailing over sea)
Hanging over a muslin tree (would you just believe?)
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
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
Say it′s only a paper moon (say it's only)
Sailing over a cardboard sea (if you only)
But it wouldn′t be make-believe (believe)
If you believed in me (me)
Yes, it's only a canvas sky (sailing over sea)
Hanging over a muslin tree (would you just believe?)
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
