It's Only A Paper Moon Ella Fitzgerald Say, it's only a paper moon, Sailing over a cardboard sea, But it wouldn't be make believe, If you believed in me. Yes, it's only a canvas sky, Hanging over a muslin tree, But it wouldn't be make believe, If you believed in me. (chorus) Without your love, It's a honky tonk parade, Without your love, It's a melody played, At 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. (repeat chorus & last verse to end song
