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, 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.
It’s phony it’s plain to see
How happy I would be, If you believed in me.
