It's Only A Paper Moon

It's Only a Paper Moon
Paul Whiteman
Lyric by Billy Rose and E.Y Harburg
Music by Harold Arlen
?

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 a phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.

From: Sarah Schoomer
