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's only a canvas sky
hangin' 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
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
