8. Life is just a bowl of cherries
Sometimes it is sweet or filled with worries
Don't be afraid, when things go wrong, just be strong
When thing seems up in the air
And everything is so unfair
And you stumble and fall
Just pick yourself up and sing
If one day you lose your way
Just remember one thing my friend
When you're under a cloud
Just face the music and sing
If one day you lose your way
Just remember that I'm here to stay
Don't you give up, keep your chin up
And be happy
Life is just a bowl of cherries
Sometimes it is sweet or filled with worries
Don't be afraid, when things go wrong, just be strong
When thing seems up in the air
And everything is so unfair
And you stumble and fall
Just pick yourself up and sing
If one day you lose your way
Just remember one thing my friend
When you're under a cloud
Just face the music and sing
If one day you lose your way
Just remember one thing my friend
When you're under a cloud
Just face the music and dance
If one day you lose your way
Just remember that I'm here to stay
Don't you give up, keep your chin up
Don't you give up, keep your chin up
Keep your chin up and be happy
