NAT KING COLE - It's Only a Paper Moon lyrics

rate me

(harold arlenbilly rosee. y. harburg)

Said it is only a paper moon

Sailing over a cardboard sea

But it wouldn't be make believe

If you believed in me.

Say it is 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.

~interlude~

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.
