Said it is only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Say it is 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 phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
~interlude~
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.
(harold arlen, billy rose, e. y. harburg) Said it is only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me. Say it is 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 phony as it can be, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me. ~interlude~ 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. Explain Request ×
