It's Only A Paper Moon — Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): Rose/Harburg/Arlen

I never feel a thing is real When I'm away from you Out of your embrace The world's a temporary parking place

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 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 as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me
