Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Say it is 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, ahhh
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
Yes 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
If you believed in me
If you believed in me
