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
 
It's only a papermoon
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 phoney as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
 
It's phoney it's plain to see
How happy I would be
If you believed in me
