lyrics by e.y. (yip) harburg
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
mmm, mm, mm, mm
you smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
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
