It's Only a Paper Moon

It??s only a paper moon,
Sailin?? over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn??t be make believe,
If you believed in me!

Yes, it??s only a canvas sky,
Hangin?? 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 as phoney as it can be,
But it wouldn??t be make believe,
If you believed in me!
