Benny Goodman and His Orchestra - It's Only a Paper Moon Lyrics

Lyrics It's Only a Paper Moon - Benny Goodman and His Orchestra



Say, it′s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it′s 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
Say, it′s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it′s 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
It′s phony it's plain to see
How happy I would be
If you believed in me
