Dalam balutan melodi yang memikat, "It's Only a Paper Moon" mempersembahkan sebuah refleksi mendalam tentang sifat cinta dan persepsi. Ditulis dan dibawakan oleh legenda musik Paul McCartney, lagu ini mengisahkan tentang seorang individu yang hanya merasakan kenyataan ketika bersama orang yang dicintainya. Tanpa belahan jiwa mereka, dunia menjadi tempat yang hampa, sebuah ilusi yang hanya akan menjadi nyata jika keyakinan mendasari hubungan mereka.
It's Only a Paper Moon Lyrics
Paul McCartney
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
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
