Paper Moon

We were talking under dark skies

About how people change

You told me that you've never found a love that stays the same

You asked me what I was thinking

What I was holding in

I told you that I never wanna end up like they did

Oh, they say they'll give you the stars and they'll lasso the moon

Well, that's just a little too far or a little untrue

I hope it's enough, it's the best I can do

I can't reach the real one, so I'll make you

A paper moon

A paper moon

A paper moon

You can hang it on your ceiling

Or keep it by your door

I know it doesn't shine as bright at night

But it's all yours

A promise that I'll love you

And it's a promise I can keep

I hope you always feel the most at home when you're with me

Oh, they say they'll give you the stars and they'll lasso the moon

Well, that's just a little too far or a little untrue

I hope it's enough, it's the best I can do

I can't reach the real one, so I'll make you

A paper moon

A paper moon

A paper moon
