We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine
And I'll be on my way

I know I'll 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 everyday
We'll sing in the sunshine
And 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"

We'll sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh everyday
We'll sing in the sunshine
And I'll be on my way

I'll sing to you each morning
I'll kiss you every night
But darling, don't cling to me
I'll soon be out of sight

But we can sing in the sunshine
We'll laugh everyday
We'll sing in the sunshine
And I'll be on my way

And when our year has ended
And I have gone away
You'll often think about me
And this is what you'll say:

We sang in the sunshine
We laughed everyday
We sang in the sunshine
And then went on our way
