i\'ve got a big bowl of cherries
and i eat them
one by one
the sweet and sour come
i taste them
one by one
until the bowl is gone
and i\'ve got a big bowl of cherries
and they make my lips turn red
and then my face and head
because of what i\'ve said
but this is the life i\'ve lead

and sometimes
i wonder why i\'m here
and then i\'m just glad i\'m not over there.
and then there is
you who
makes life a dream.
and sometimes i\'m nowhere................

i measure every day
and wonder what to say
but i\'m thankful
anyway.
oh i\'m thankful.......
and i\'m thankful anyway.
