Bing Crosby – It's Only A Paper Moon lyrics
I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place

Mm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it

Say, it's 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
Hanging 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
