It's Only a Paper Moon

James Darren

Compositor: Billy Rose / E.Y. Yip Harburg / Harold Arlen

Its only a paper moon
hanging over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Now, 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

(Instrumental Part)< BR>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

No it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
