It's Only a Paper Moon |
| I never feel a thing is real |
| When I’m away from you |
| Out of your embrace |
| The world’s a temporary parking place |
| Mmm, mm, mm, mm |
| A bubble for a minute |
| Mmm, mm, mm, mm |
| You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it |
| 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 |
| 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 |
