Paper Moon

We were talking in the dark skies
About how people change
You told me that you've never found a love
That stayed the same
You asked me what I was thinking
What I was holding in
I told you that I never wanted to end up like they did

All they say they'll give you the stars, and they'll lasso the moon
Well that's just a little too far or a little untrue
I hope it's enough, it's the best I can do
I can't reach the real one, so I'll make you

Paper moon
Paper moon
Paper moon

You can hang it on your ceiling
Or keep it by your door
I know it doesn't shine as bright at night
But it's all yours
I promise that I'll love you
And it's a promise I can keep
I hope you always feel the most at home
When you're with me

Oh they say they'll give you the stars, and they'll lasso the moon
Well that's just a little too far or a little untrue
I hope it's enough, it's the best I can do
I can't reach the real one, so I'll make you

Paper moon
Paper moon
