It is only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
It is only a canvas sky
Sailing 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 kiss
It's a melody played on a penny arcade.
It's a Barnum & Bailey world
Just as phony as it may be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade,
Without your kiss
It's a melody played on a penny arcade.
It's a Barnum & Bailey world
Just as phony as it may be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
