It's Only a Paper Moon
To the tune of the classic hit, It's Only a Paper Moon as sung by Nat King Cole.
| New Lyrics | Original Lyrics |
| You bring out the joy in me. It came when you set me free From the hold sin had on me. Yes, You bring out my joy! |
It is only a paper moon Hanging over a cardboard sea, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me. |
| You bring out the joy in me. And just like fresh laund-er-y There is no spot stuck on me; My sin you did destroy. |
It is only a canvas sky Sailing over a muslin tree, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me. |
| You saved my soul. Your death has made me whole. Upon the cross Your sacrifice was made for me. |
Without your love, It's a honky-tonk parade. Without your love, It's a melody played on a penny arcade. |
| You bring out the joy in me. Can’t help but respond with glee When I see the change in me. Yes, You bring out my joy! |
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. |

| You saved my soul. Your death has made me whole. Upon the cross Your sacrifice was made for me. |
Without your love, It's a honky-tonk parade. Without your love, It's a melody played on a penny arcade. |
| You bring out the joy in me. A ZING that is not coffee. I know that you will agree That You bring out my joy! |
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. |
