I never feel a thing is real   When I'm away from you   Out of your embrace   The world's a temporary parking place      A bubble for a minute   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      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
