Life...
...is just a bowl of cherries.
Now, I find this quite unlikely.
Let's look at the evidence:
1) Bowl of cherries tastes good. Life sometimes does, but more usually tastes of something boring and pedestrian like cheese sandwiches. And occasionally, it tastes like something really disgusting. Seaweed, say.
2) Bowl of cherries stays in one place for your viewing pleasure. Life is unlikely to do this, ever. Until maybe you're eighty and too old to enjoy it.
3) Bowl of cherries full of reassuringly predictable content. "Ooooh... what'll it be today? I know: a cherry!" Every one's a winner. Life: not so much.
So, let's reassess:
Life is just a bowl of random foodstuffs, placed on the roof of a high-speed train, with the odd unexpected item like dog poo mixed in.
Admittedly, it doesn't fit the tune quite so well.
