"It's Only A Paper Moon" lyrics
(originally by Claire Carleton)
Well it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
And 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 the penny arcade
It's Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
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 the penny arcade
It's Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
(Paper moon)
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
And 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 the penny arcade
It's Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
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 the penny arcade
It's Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
(Paper moon)
