It's Only A Paper Moon
Ella Fitzgerald
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 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,
At 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.
(repeat chorus & last verse to end song
