Lyrics Natalie Cole

Natalie Cole

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... A bubble for a minute

Mmm... 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 tank parade

With out 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, oh...

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
