I never feel a thing, is it real When I'm away from you? Out of your embrace, the world becomes A temporary parking place A bubble for a minute, you smile And 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 Say 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 phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed, if you believed Say, it's only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make believe If you only took the time to 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 Barnum and Bailey Barnum and Bailey world Just as phony as it can be 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 Wouldn't be make believe Wouldn't be make believe If you only took the time to believe in me Only, if you only took the time to believe in me But it wouldn't be make believe Make believe, make believe, make believe Make believe, make believe, make believe 'Cause you make believe, make believe Make believe, make believe
