Lyrics

[Chorus]
Say, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
[Chorus]
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Say, it's only a paper moon
Say, it's only
Sailing over a cardboard sea
Hanging over me
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe
If you believed in me
Me
[Chorus]
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Sailing over sea
Hanging over a muslin tree
Would you just believe?
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
[Outro]
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
