It's only a paper moon, Sailin' 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 phoney as it can be, But it wouldn't be make believe, If you believed in me! < instrumental break > Without your love, It's a honky-tonk parade, Without your love, It's a melody played in a penny arcade!
