(Harold Arlen, Billy Rose, E. 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.
