It`s Only A Paper Moon Lyrics

music  by Harold Arlen. 
lyrics by E.Y. (Yip) Harburg 

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
