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 muscling tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Without your love
It's a horky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's abarnum and
Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be but it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

Yes it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muscling tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Without your love
It's a horky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's abarnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be but it wouldn't be make believe
Oh no it wouldn't be make believe
No it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
