It's Only A Paper Moon

Sinatra Frank

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 would'nt 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
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 cozy 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 believed in me
