ELLA FITZGERALD - It’s Only A Paper Moon lyrics

Ella Fitzgerald

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.

(chorus)

Without your love,

It's a honky tonk parade,

Without your love,

It's a melody played,

At 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.

(repeat chorus & last verse to end song
