Paper Moon Lyrics

Paper Moon lyrics

Writers: Rose/Harburg/Arlen
I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away
from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking
place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You
smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, its 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
