Nat King Cole - It's Only A Paper Moon [Live at the Blue Note Chicago]

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

It is only a canvas sky
Sailing 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 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
