But it wouldn't be make-believe if you would just believe in me
Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believed in me
Ba-do-bow!
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
What a 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
Ba-da-da-ding-ba-da-da-da,
ba-ba-***-da-ba,
ba-ba-da-ding-ba-da-da-da-ding,
ba-ba-ba-ba,
ba-ba-da-ba-ba,
ba-ba-du-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
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 would just believe.
No,
it wouldn't be make-believe if you just believed in me.
