It’s Only a Paper Moon Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

It′s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me

Yes, it′s only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you 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 world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you 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 world
Just as phony as it can be, yeah
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me
