Dizzy Gillespie & Stuff Smith: It's Only a Paper Moon

Yes, it’s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me Yes, it’s only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me Without your love
It’s a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It’s a melody played on a penny arcade
It’s a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it could be But it wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me Yes, it’s only a paper moon
Sailing over that cardboard sea
It wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me It’s only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me Without your love
It’s a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It’s a melody played on a penny arcade
It’s a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it could be It wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me Without your love
It’s a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It’s a melody played on a penny arcade
It’s a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it could be But it wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me It wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me It wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me
