But I'm Only A Cockeyed Optimist.

I Know The World Is Filled With Troubles And Many Injustices. But Reality Is As Beautiful As It Is Ugly. I Think It Is Just As Important To Sing About Beautiful Mornings As It Is To Talk About Slums. I Just Couldn't Write Anything Without Hope In It.

Be Brave, Young Lovers, And Follow Your Star.

But I'm Only A Cockeyed Optimist.

Walk On, Walk On With Hope In Your Heart.

I'd Let My Golden Chances Pass Me By.
