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, it's only a canvas sky. Hanging over a muslin tree. But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believed in me. Without your love it's a honky-tonk parade.

It is only a paper moon. Hanging over a cardboard sea. But it wouldn't be make believe. If you believe in me. It is only a canvas sky. Sailing over a muslin tree. But it wouldn't be make believe. If you believe in me. Without your love.
Mmm, mm, mm, mm. A bubble for a minute. Mmm, mm, mm, mm. You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it. Say, its 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.
