It's Only A Paper Moon Lyrics

Buddy Rich It's Only A Paper Moon

So it’s only a paper moon
Hanging over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me


Well it’s only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me


Without your love
It’s a carnival parade
Without your love
It’s a melody played on a penny arcade


It’s a Barnum & Bailey world
Just as phoney as it could be
But it wouldn’t be make believe
If you believe in me
