Paper Moon

"Say, its 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...

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..."
