The Four Freshmen

The Four Freshmen is a multiple (six) Grammy-nominated American male vocal band quartet that blends open-harmonic jazz arrangements with the big band vocal group sounds of The Modernaires (Glenn Miller), The Pied Pipers (Tommy Dorsey), and The Mel-Tones (Artie Shaw), founded in the barbershop tradition. The Four Freshmen is considered a vocal band because the singers accompany themselves on guitar, horns, bass, and drums, among other instrumental configurations. more »

I never feel a thing is real 
When I'm away from you 
Out of your embrace 
The world's a temporary parking place 

Mm, mm, mm, mm 
A bubble for a minute 
Mm, mm, mm, 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 phoney as it can be 
But it wouldn't be make-believe 
If you believed in me
