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 a phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
