It's Only A Paper Moon - Paul Whiteman

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
