A Cockeyed Optimist (盲目的樂天派) - Mary Martin

Written by:Oscar Hammerstein II/RICHARD RODGERS

 

When the skies are brighter 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 falling on its face

 

And hasn't very far to go

 

But every whippoorwill

 

Is selling me a bill

 

And telling me it just ain't so

 

I could say life is just a bowl of Jello

 

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
