Say, it's only a paper moonSailing over a cardboard seaBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in meYes, it's only a canvas skyHanging over a muslin treeBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in meWithout your loveIt's a honky tonk paradeWithout your loveIt's a melody played in a penny arcadeIt's a Barnum and Bailey worldJust as phony as it can beBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in meSay, it's only a paper moonSailing over a cardboard seaSongtexteBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in meYes, it's only a canvas skyHanging over a muslin treeBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in meWithout your loveIt's a honky-tonk paradeWithout your loveIt's a melody played in a penny arcadeIt's a Barnum and Bailey worldJust as phony as it can beBut it wouldn't be make-believeIf you believed in meIt's phony it's plain to seeHow happy I would beIf you believed in me
