It's Only a Paper Moon Lyrics & Tabs by Jim Reeves

It's Only a Paper Moon

guitar chords lyrics

Jim Reeves

It's only a paper moon,
Sailing over a cardboard sea.
But it wouldn't be make believe

If you believed in me.
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

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.
--- Instrumental ---
Without your love,
It's a honky tonk parade.
Without your love,
It's just 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.
(If you believed)
(If you believed)
(If you believed in me)...
