Ella Fitzgerald - It's Only A Paper Moon

IT'S ONLY A PAPER MOON (written in 1932 by Harold Arlen (Music) and Yip Harburg/Billy Rose (Lyrics), recorded by Ella Fitzgerald for her album «Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Harold Arlen Song Book», 1961) You 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, its 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. You 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, its 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. But it wouldn't be make-believe Believe, if you believed in me.
