It's Only a Paper Moon [From Take A Chance] Lyrics
It's only a paper moon
Sailin' over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hangin' 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
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
Sailin' over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Hangin' over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
It's a honky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
