It is only a paper moon
sailing over a cardboard sea,
but it wouldn't be make believe
if you believed in me.
It is only a canvas sky
hanging over amuslin 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 don 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
Without your love,
It's honky-tonk parade.
without your love,
it's a melody played on 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.
