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, 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

Without your sweet

Your sweet, sweet, sweet love

It's a ho-onky-to-onk 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

If you believed in me

If you believed in me
