ItĄŻs only a paper moon,
|
SailinĄŻ over a cardboard sea,
|
But it wouldnĄŻt be make believe,
|
If you believed in me!
|
|
Yes, itĄŻs only a canvas sky,
|
HanginĄŻ over a muslin tree,
|
But it wouldnĄŻt be make believe,
|
If you believed in me!
|
|
Without your love,
|
ItĄŻs a honky-tonk parade,
|
Without your love,
|
ItĄŻs a melody played in a penny arcade!
|
|
ItĄŻs a Barnum and Bailey world,
|
Just as phoney as it can be,
|
But it wouldnĄŻt be make believe,
|
If you believed in me!
