[ti:A Cockeyed Optimist] |
|
[ar:Bing Crosby] |
|
[al:Bing On Broadway] |
| [00:11.180] |
When the skies are brighter canary yellow |
| [00:17.240] |
|
| [00:19.960] |
I forget every cloud I've ever seen |
| [00:22.630] |
|
| [00:25.090] |
So they called me a cockeyed optimist |
| [00:28.970] |
|
| [00:31.020] |
Immature and incurably green |
| [00:34.530] |
|
| [00:36.690] |
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow |
| [00:40.480] |
|
| [00:43.220] |
That we're done and we might as well be dead |
| [00:46.590] |
|
| [00:49.090] |
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist |
| [00:52.200] |
|
| [00:54.160] |
And I can't get it into my head |
| [00:57.840] |
|
| [01:00.340] |
I hear the human race |
| [01:02.270] |
|
| [01:03.650] |
Is falling on its face |
| [01:05.170] |
|
| [01:07.080] |
And hasn't very far to go |
| [01:10.190] |
|
| [01:13.620] |
But every whippoorwill |
| [01:15.090] |
|
| [01:16.600] |
Is selling me a bill |
| [01:18.310] |
|
| [01:19.410] |
And telling me it just ain't so |
| [01:23.160] |
|
| [01:24.770] |
I could say life is just a bowl of Jello |
| [01:29.130] |
|
| [01:30.910] |
And appear more intelligent and smart |
| [01:34.380] |
|
| [01:36.770] |
But I'm stuck like a dope |
| [01:38.960] |
|
| [01:39.910] |
With a thing called hope |
| [01:41.760] |
|
| [01:42.690] |
And I can't get it out of my heart |
| [01:46.480] |
|
| [01:49.900] |
Not this heart |
| [01:59.550] |
|
