Say, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
And it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
(Oh, yeah)
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 the penny arcade
It's Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
(I know)
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
