We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every da-a-y
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 for a year

And we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every da-a-y
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way

I'll sing to you each morning
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-y
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way

My mama she once told me
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-y
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 talk about me
And this is what you'll say:

We sang in the sunshine
You know, we laughed every da-a-y
We sang in the sunshine
Then she went on her way

We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every da-a-y
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way

We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every da-a-y
We'll sing in the sunshine
Then I'll be on my way
