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...if you believed....
If you...be...lieved...in me.
