It's Only a Paper Moon

It's only a Paper Moon (E.Y.Harburg & Harold Arlen)

You 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, its 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

You say its only a paper moon

Sailing over a cardboard sea

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

Yes, its 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

But it wouldn't be make-believe, -believe if you believed in
