Paper Moon

it is only a paper moon

hanging over a cardboard sea

but it wouldn't be make-believe

if you believed in me

it is only a canvas sky

sailing over a muslin tree

but it wouldn't be make-believe

if you believed in me

without your love

it's a honkey tonk parade

without your love

it's a melody played on a penny arcade

it's a barnum and bailey world

just as phoney as it can be

but it wouldn't be make-believe

if you believed in me
