Paul Anka - Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries

(When you're young,
When you're young and alive,
You discover life
Is more than merely pallid
And every time it rains,
It isn't raining rain,
It's raining fruit salad!)

Life is just a bowl of cherries.
Don't make it serious,
Life's too mysterious.
You work, you save, and you mope around
But you can't take your dough
When you get out of town.

So keep repeatin', it's the berries,
The strongest oak must fall.
The sweet things in life
To you were just loaned
So how can you lose
What you never owned?

Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live, laugh at it all.

Well, life is inelegant,
Happy and swell again
Along the way.

(Don't take it serious,
Life's too mysterious.)

It's in its merriest
When its the cherriest,
So they say.

(But you can't take your dough
When you go, go, go!)

Oh, laughter is nourishing
And you'll start flourishing
Right away.

(The strongest oak must fall)

The sweet things in life
To you were just loaned
So how can you lose
What you never, never, never, never owned?

Life is a inelegant,
Happy and swell again
All the day.
So live and laugh at it all.

Hey, the sweet things in life
To you were just a loan,
Now how 'ya gonna lose
What you never, never owned?

Life's a bowl of maraschinos
So live
And laugh
At it all!

Everybody eat a fruit salad!
