It's Only A Paper Moon

Andy Bey

I never feel a thing, is it real

When I'm away from you?

Out of your embrace, the world becomes

A temporary parking place

A bubble for a minute, you smile

And 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



Say 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, if you believed



Say, it's only a paper moon

Sailing over a cardboard sea

But it wouldn't be make believe

If you only took the time to believe 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

Barnum and Bailey world

Just as phony as it can be

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



Wouldn't be make believe

Wouldn't be make believe

If you only took the time to believe in me

Only, if you only took the time to believe in me



But it wouldn't be make believe

Make believe, make believe, make believe

Make believe, make believe, make believe

'Cause you make believe, make believe

Make believe, make believe
