George Benson Paper Moon song lyrics

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,

Without your love it's a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world

Just a phony as it can be,

But it wouldn't be make believe

If you believed in me.
