Its Only A Paper Moon Lyrics

It's Only A Paper Moon 

 Ella Fitzgerald 

  

 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. 

  

 (chorus) 

 Without your love, 

 It's a honky tonk parade, 

 Without your love, 

 It's a melody played, 

 At 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. 

  

 (repeat chorus & last verse to end song
