Say it's only a paper moon
  Sailing over a cardboard sea
  But it wouldn't be make believe
  If you believed in me
  
  And it's only a canvas sky
  Hanging over a muslin tree (oh,yeah)
  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 the penny arcade
  
  It's Barnum and Bailey world
  Just as phony as it can be (I know)
  But it wouldn't be make believe
  If you believed in me
