It's Only A Paper Moon Lyrics


Say, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in meYes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in meWithout your love
It's a honky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcadeIt's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in meSay, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in meYes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe

If you believed in meWithout your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcadeIt's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in meIt's phony it's plain to see
How happy I would be
If you believed in me

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 in Newport News, VA – June 15, 1996), also known as Lady Ella (the First Lady of Song), was one of the most influential jazz singers of the 20th Century, the winner of thirteen Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Art presented by President Ronald Reagan and the Presidential Medal of Freedom presented by President George H. W. Bush. Gifted with a three-octave vocal range, she was noted for her purity of tone, near faultless phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
