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, mm, mm 
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it 

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 honky-tonk parade 
Without your love 
It's a melody played in a penny arcade 

It's a Barnum and Bailey world 
Just as phoney as it can be 
But it wouldn't be make-believe 
If you believed in me
