It's Only a Paper Moon - Live at the Crescendo
It's only a paper moon
Hanging over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me
It is 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 on 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
Marty Paich
Mel Lewis on drums
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played on 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
No, no, no, it wouldn't, no it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me
Make-believe!
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
Thank you so much
Hanging over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me
It is 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 on 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
Marty Paich
Mel Lewis on drums
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played on 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
No, no, no, it wouldn't, no it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me
Make-believe!
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
Thank you so much
