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
