Lyrics
I never feel a thing is real
I don't experience genuine emotions
When I'm away from you
Feelings of reality are absent when I'm not with you
Out of your embrace
Outside of your loving embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
The world seems like a temporary resting place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
Melodic humming or contemplation
A bubble for a minute
A momentary joy or delight
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
Continuation of melodic humming or contemplation
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Your smile adds a positive and colorful aspect to that joy
Say, it's only a paper moon
Expressing that what follows is an illusion or not entirely real
Sailing over a cardboard sea
Imagining a paper moon floating above a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
The paper moon wouldn't be imaginary if you had faith in me
If you believed in me
If you believed in me, the make-believe becomes real
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Describing the sky as a canvas
Hanging over a muslin tree
An image of a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
The canvas sky wouldn't be make-believe with your belief
If you believed in me
If you believed in me, the unreal becomes real
Without your love
Without your love, life is like a lively but disordered procession
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love, it's a musical performance in a cheap entertainment venue
Without your love
Without your love, it's a tune played in a coin-operated game
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Acknowledging its artificial and deceptive nature
Just as phony as it can be
The artificiality wouldn't be make-believe with your trust in me
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me, the illusion becomes reality
If you believed in me
