it s only a paper moon

Perry Como

Itââ?¬â?¢s only a paper moon,
Sailinââ?¬â?¢ over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldnââ?¬â?¢t be make believe,
If you believed in me!

Yes, itââ?¬â?¢s only a canvas sky,
Hanginââ?¬â?¢ over a muslin tree,
But it wouldnââ?¬â?¢t be make believe,
If you believed in me!

Without your love,
Itââ?¬â?¢s a honky-tonk parade,
Without your love,
Itââ?¬â?¢s a melody played in a penny arcade!

Itââ?¬â?¢s a Barnum and Bailey world,
Just as phoney as it can be,
But it wouldnââ?¬â?¢t be make believe,
If you believed in me!
