|
Say it is only a paper moon |
|
Sailing over a cardboard sea, |
|
But it wouldn't be make believe |
|
If you believed in me. |
|
Yes 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. ~interlude~ |
