[VERSE 2] Yes it’s only a canvas sky hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn’t be make believe if you believed in me. [CHORUS] With out your love it’s a honky tonk parade With out your love it’s a melody played at a penny arcade. [VERSE 3] 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. FINAL LINE But it wouldn’t be make believe if you believed in me. If you believed in me.
