Lyrics to 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 phoney as it can be.

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 phoney as it can be.

But it wouldn't be make believe

If you believed in me.
