Yes, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Without your love
It's a 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 could be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Yes, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over that cardboard sea
It wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
It's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Without your love
It's a 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 could be
It wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Without your love
It's a 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 could be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
It wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
It wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
