IT'S ONLY A PAPER MOON

I never feel a thing is real When I'm away from you Out of your embrace The world's a temporary parking place A bubble for a minute You smile the bubble has a rainbow in it It is only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me It is only a canvas sky Hanging 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 Barnum and Bailey world Just as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make believe If you believe in me It is only a canvas sky Hanging 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 Barnum and Bailey world Just as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make believe If you believe in me
