Returning to the old standards, here. This is an arrangement for a vocalist and a jazz ensemble.

Positioning: 3 lines. Front - Clarinet 1. Middle - Horns 1&2, Clarinet 2, Flue. Back - Drum, Harp, Bass.
Variation: Put Clarinet 1 to one side of the rest of the band.

Adjusted volumes for music update 16.1 and compiled into multi-file. ~Diamond

Lyrics:
------
Said it's only a paper moon
Hanging over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Sailing 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.

~interlude~

Said it's only a paper moon
Hanging over a cardboard sea,
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,
No, it wouldn't be make believe,
Yes, it wouldn't be make believe,
If you...
believed...
in me.

I'm *very* pleased with this one. Ready to be moved to finished songs, wherever deemed worthy.
