It's only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make believe if you believe in me It's only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make believe if you 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 Bonnom and Daily World just as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make believe if you believe in me
