it s only a paper moon
Verse
Say it s only a paper moon
hanging over a cardboard sea
but it wouldn t be make-believe
G#o
if you believed in me
Yes, its only a canvas sky
hanging over a muslin tree
but it would be make believe
if you believed in me
Chorus
Without your love
it s a honky-tonk parade
without your love
it s a melody played in the penny arcade
Verse
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
