Paper Moon

This song was played in the background at the Sandollar (which is where there wedding reception is held years later) as Jack and Jennifer talked.

 
You 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

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

It's phony 
It's plain to see
how happy I would be 
if you believed in me
