It's Only A Paper Moon...





...sailing over a cardboard sea...

Feeling so melancholic tonight. Wonder what that's about?

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

What great lyrics.

Aw, thanks! Got your joy vibes and out of the doldrums now. Wonder if any fairs or carnivals still have Paper Moon photo set ups? Something to look into...
Have a wonderful night!!! Tara
