It's Only a Paper Moon - Frank Sinatra, Nelson Riddle Orchestra

Best Of Frank Sinatra 6

It’s Only A Paper Moon

Writers: Rose/Harburg/Arlen

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, its 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
