Ella Fitzgerald — Its Only a Paper Moon

[Verse 1:] You 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, its only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me [Chorus:] 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 [Verse 2:] You say its only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me Yes, its only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me [Chorus:] 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 But it wouldn't be make-believe Believe if you believed in me
