It's Only A Paper Moon
Say, it's only a paper moonSailing over a cardboard seaBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas skyHanging over a muslin treeBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in me
Without your loveIt's a honky-tonk paradeWithout your loveIt's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey worldJust as phony as it can beBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in me
