| Lyrics: | (harold arlen, billy rose, e. y. harburg)
Said it is 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.
~interlude~
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. |
