Harry Nilsson - It's Only A Paper Moon Lyrics

Artist: Harry Nilsson

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Harold Arlen, E. Y. Harburg, Billy Rose

Say, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sky
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

It's a honky-tonk parade
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
