[Verse 1] It's only a paper moon Hanging over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be a make-believe If you believed in me [Verse 2] Yes, only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be a make-believe If you believed in me [Chorus] 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 a make-believe If you believed in me [Instrumental] [Chorus] Without your love It's a honky-tonk parade Without your love Oh, 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 a make-believe If you believed in me
