It's Only A Paper Moon

Arlen-Harburg-Rose

Said it's 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.

Without your love, it’s a honky-tonk parade

Without your love, it’s a melody played in a penny arcade.

Yes, 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

If you believed in me

If you believed in me.
