It's Only a Paper Moon
Lyrics
I NEVER FEEL A THING IS REAL
WHEN I'M AWAY FROM YOU
OUT OF YOUR EMBRACE
THE WORLD IS JUST
A TEMPORARY PARKING PLACE
OH A BUBBLE FOR A MINUTE
OH YOU SMILE
THE BUBBLE HAS RAINBOW IN IT
IT'S ONLY A PAPER MOON
HANGING OVER A CARDBOARD SEA
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE MAKE BELIEVE
IF YOU BELIEVE IN ME
IT'S ONLY A CANVAS SKY
FLOATING 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 BARNAM AND BAILEY WORLD
JUST AS PHONEY AS IT CAN BE
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE MAKE BELIEVE
IF YOU BELIEVE IN ME
IT WOULDN'T BE WOULDN'T BE MAKE BELIEVE
IF YOU
BELIEVE IN ME
I NEVER FEEL A THING IS REAL
WHEN I'M AWAY FROM YOU
OUT OF YOUR EMBRACE
THE WORLD IS JUST
A TEMPORARY PARKING PLACE
OH A BUBBLE FOR A MINUTE
OH YOU SMILE
THE BUBBLE HAS RAINBOW IN IT
IT'S ONLY A PAPER MOON
HANGING OVER A CARDBOARD SEA
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE MAKE BELIEVE
IF YOU BELIEVE IN ME
IT'S ONLY A CANVAS SKY
FLOATING 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 BARNAM AND BAILEY WORLD
JUST AS PHONEY AS IT CAN BE
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE MAKE BELIEVE
IF YOU BELIEVE IN ME
IT WOULDN'T BE WOULDN'T BE MAKE BELIEVE
IF YOU
BELIEVE IN ME
