CHERRIES, THE
(Josef Marais)


Doris Day - 1952


I like roses, you like cherries
I like daisies, you like berries
You and I like daffodils
Growing on the rolling hills

He and I, we walked for hours
He picked fruit and I picked flowers
Then my darling smiled at me
"I think we've walked enough", said he

So we sat beneath the trees
And we listened to the breeze
And he asked me would I please
Have some berries and some cherries

So we stayed beneath the trees
And we listened to the breeze
Oh, his kiss was warm and sweeter than
The sweetest red cherries

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And he asked me would I please
Have some berries and some cherries

So we stayed beneath the trees
And we listened to the breeze
Oh, his kiss was warm and sweeter than
The sweetest red cherries
