It's Only A Paper Moon
Words by E.Y. Harburg & Billy Rose
Music by Harold Arlen
Appears on Live with The Trio
Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Say it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over 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
