It's Only a Paper Moon (from the movie: Stormy Weather) Songtext
von Rufus Wainwright

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 a phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
