Letra de A Cockeyed Optimist - Margaret Whiting

When the sky is a bright canary yellow
I forget every cloud I've ever seen
So they called me a cockeyed optimist
Immature and incurably green.

I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
That we're done and we might as well be dead
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist
And I can't get it into my head.

I hear the human race is fallin' on its face
And hasn't very far to go
But every whippoorwill Is sellin' me a bill
And tellin' me it just ain't so

I could say life is just a bowl of Jell-O
And appear more intelligent and smart

But I'm stuck like a dope with a thing called hope
And I can't get it out of my heart
Not this heart

I hear the human race is fallin' on its face
And hasn't very far to go
But every whippoorwill Is sellin' me a bill
And tellin' me it just ain't so

I could say life is just a bowl of Jell-O
And appear more intelligent and smart
But I'm stuck like a dope with a thing called hope
And I can't get it out of my heart
