Paper Moon Songtext
von Ethel Waters

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
