Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
And it's 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 the 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 the 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

oh i do believe in you

But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me
