Close your eyes and make believe
Close your eyes and you will see
All the world is make believe
If you just believe in me.
Say it’s only a paper moon,
Sailin’ over a
cardboard sea,
But it wouldn’t be
make believe,
If you believed in
me!
Yes, it’s only a
canvas sky,
Hangin’ over a
muslin tree,
But it wouldn’t be
make believe,
If you believed in
me!
Without your
love, oh, 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 phoney as
it can be,
But it wouldn’t be
make believe,
If you believed in
me! Yeah!
Say it’s only a paper moon
Sailin’ over a
cardboard sea
But it wouldn’t be
make believe
If you believed in
me!
If you believed in
me!
If you believed in
me!
