- Verse:
- 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, You smile, the
bubble has a rainbow in it.
-
- Chorus:
- 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 honkytonk parade,
- With out 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.
