Paul McCartney - It's Only A Paper Moon Lyrics






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

  1. N.... B....

    A very fine arrangement, especially Andy's violin work. If you're good enough people will diss ya. That even goes for Paul. Too bad. Those who can, do. Those who can't teach, or criticize. GBS

    Q genio

  3. D.... J....

    This song reminds me of the song George recorded, "The Devil In The Deep Blue Sea."
    I think George would have really liked this album of Paul's.

    I love the song and the movie Paper Moon.
    Paul singing the song i do not love.

    f.... ....

    Killer tune

  6. N.... U....

    Dreadful, flat on the vocals and an off-putting fiddle sequence , nice compliment of Pizzarellis though!

  7. c.... 9....

    Sounds like an old lady.

  8. M.... F....

    I grew up with this song in the 50's. I don't know who sang it, but I loved it! Also, Perry Como's "Catch a Falling Star". Such fun songs!

    Written by Cliff Edwards

    It says in the heading, written by: Yip Harburg, Billy Rose, Harold Arlen
