I never feel

a thing is real

when I'm away from you

Out of your embrace

the world's a temporary

parking place

umm umm umm umm

A bubble

for a minute

umm umm 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 phony

as it can be

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 phony

as it can be

but it wouldn't be

make believe

if you believed in me
