It's Only a Paper Moon

[Verse 1]

It's only a paper moon

Sailing over a cardboard sea

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believe in me

Yes, it's only a canvas sky

Hanging over a muslin tree

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believe in me

[Bridge]

Without your love

It's a honky-tonk parade

Without your love

It's a melody played in a penny arcade

[Verse 2]

It's a Barnum and Bailey world

Just as phony as it can be

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believe in me

[Bridge]

Without your love

It's a honky-tonk parade

Without your love

It's a melody played in a penny arcade

[Outro]

It's a Barnum and Bailey world

Just as phony as it can be, yeah

But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believe in me
