Lyrics for It's Only A Paper Moon

It is only a paper moon Hanging over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make believe If you believe in me It is only a canvas sky Sailing over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make believe If you believe in me Without your love It's a honky tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played On 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 believe in me Without your love It's a honky tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played On 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 believe in me
