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

Mmm, mmm, mmm, a bubble for a minute

Mmm, mmm, you smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it

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 as phony as it can be

But it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me, oh

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 as phony as it can be

But it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me, oh
