Arlen : It's Only A Paper Moon

Ella Fitzgerald, The Delta Rhythm Boys
Album : Coffee & Jazz

I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking placeMmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in itSay, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in meYes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in meWithout your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcadeIt'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
