It's only a paper moon

(Verse)
I never feel a thing is real
when I'm away from you
out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place

Mm mm mm mm, A bubble for a minute
Mm mm, You smile
the bubble has a rainbow in it

(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

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
