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, mm, mm, mm,
A bubble for a minute,
Mm, mm,
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 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.
