[Verse 1]
It is only a paper moon
Flying over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

[Verse 2]
It is only a canvas sky
Sailing over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

[Bridge]
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played on a penny arcade

[Verse 3]
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, yeah

[Bridge]
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk paradе
Without your love
It's a melody played on a pеnny arcade
[Verse 3]
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
