It's Only a Paper Moon

Say it is only a paper moon

Sailing over a cardboard sea

But it wouldn't be make believe

If you believed in me

Yes It is 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 interlude

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
