It's only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe if you believe in me
It's only a canuas sky hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe if you believe 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 Bonnom and Daily World just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe if you believe in me

Without your love
