Its Only a Paper Moon — текст песни (Nat King Cole)

(harold arlen, billy rose, e. y. harburg)





Said it is only a paper moon

Sailing over a cardboard sea,

But it wouldnt be make believe

If you believed in me.





Say it is only a canvas sky

Hanging over a muslin tree,

But it wouldnt be make believe

If you believed in me.





Without your love,

Its a honky-tonk parade.

Without your love,

Its a melody played in a penny arcade.





Its a barnum and bailey world,

Just as phony as it can be,

But it wouldnt be make believe

If you believed in me.

Its a barnum and bailey world

Just as phony as it can be,

But it wouldnt be make believe
