Its Only A Paper Moon - Paul Whiteman

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.
