Paper Moon Lyrics

Erin Mckeown Paper Moon

it is only a paper moon
hanging over a cardboard sea
but it wouldn't be make-believe
if you believed in me

it is only a canvas sky
sailing over a muslin tree
but it wouldn't be make-believe
if you believed in me

without your love
it's a honkey tonk parade
without your love
it's a melody played on a penny arcade

it's a barnum and bailey world
just as phoney as it can be
but it wouldn't be make-believe
if you believed in me
