It’s Only a Paper Moon (Live 1967)

I thank you
Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen
Thank you and now that was the
Wailing with that wailing band
And now we’re gonna taper it down a little
Do some of the tunes with the small group
Ladies and gentlemen, sort of reminisce
And we hope you remember some of these tunes

[Verse 1]
It's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

[Verse 2]
It’s only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
It wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

[Bridge]
Without your love
It's a honky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 1]
It’s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

[Verse 2]
It’s only a canvas sky
Hanging, hanging on the muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make, it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

[Bridge]
Without your love
It's a honky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

[Verse 3]
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 plain, it’s plain to see
How sweet it really would be
If you believed in me

What a phony world, what a phony world
What a phony world, what a phony world
It’s only a paper moon
