(Words and Music by Gale Garnett)

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 one 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 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-y 

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-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 speak 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 away"
