We'll sing in the sunshine We'll laugh every da-a-why We'll sing in the sunshine Then I'll be on my way I will never love you The cost of love's too dear But though I'll never love you I'll stay with you one year And we can sing in the sunshine We'll laugh every da-a-why We'll sing in the sunshine Then I'll be on my way I'll sing to you each mornin' I'll kiss you every night But darlin', don't cling to me I'll soon be out of sight But we can sing in the sunshine We'll laugh every da-a-why We'll sing in the sunshine Then I'll be on my way My daddy he once told me "Hey, don't you love you any man" "Just take what they may give you" "And give but what you can" "And you can sing in the sunshine" "You'll laugh every da-a-why" "You'll sing in the sunshine" "Then be on your way" And when our year has ended And I have gone away You'll often speak about me And this is what you'll say "We sang in the sunshine "You know, we laughed every da-a-why" "We sang in the sunshine" "Then she went on her way"
