Rufus Wainwright - It's Only a Paper Moon lyrics
[Rufus Wainwright - It's Only a Paper Moon lyrics]
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, mmm a bubble for a minute
Mmm, mmm
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 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 believed in me
When I'm away from you out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mmm a bubble for a minute
Mmm, mmm
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 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 believed in me
