It's Only A Paper Moon

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



But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believed in me
